18th May: Vesak Day Fish Release

Dear Friends, we are happy to share images of our fish release. It was a very special day. We bought and transported over 25,000 fish from a fish farm to a nearby lake, Begnas Thal, in Nepal. Before releasing the fish they were given Myongdrol- liberation through tasting- holy water and mantras were recited by Dugu Choegyal Rinpoche. The fish are endemic to the area and will not cause disturbances in the ecosystem. Thank you all for participating and happy Vesak to you!

Where Buddhist culture comes alive...

If you want to experience magical Myanmar from a myriad of perspectives this is the tour for you. The ten days were a fast moving kaleidoscope of wondrous events.
