9 August 2010

The entire visit to Jispa cannot be 100%
confirmed because of problems being faced with travel logistics.

The terrible road conditions makes it not
possible for His Holiness to travel by road.

Travel by helicopter will depend on weather
conditions and other safety factors. In lieu of
this, we have scheduled the confirmed visit to
Manali first. The visit to Jispa will tentatively
follow the visit to Manali. His Holiness will
give a 1/2 day teaching on Gyalsey Thokme
Sangpo's 37 Practices of A Boddhisattva (laklen
sodunma) in Manali on 18 August. His Holiness
will tentatively give teachings in Jispa on 20 to
22 August. On 20 August he will teach on Atisha’s
Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment (jangchup
lamdron). On 21 August he will confer the Heruka
(dechok) Initiation. On 22 August he will confer
the Avalokiteshvera (chenresig) Initiation.
