Incredible News from Ven. Thupten Donyo!
In March of this year I went to Dharamsala, India for Gyuto Tantric Monastery’s inauguration ceremony with HH the
Dalai Lama. I returned from India with some amazing news for the Gyuto Center community – and the entire Bay Area.
During the inauguration ceremony I humbly requested our Abbot to take this precious opportunity to personally invite
His Holiness the Dalai Lama to San Jose. The Abbot approached him and incredibly, His Holiness has compassionately
agreed to come to San Jose at the request of the Gyuto Vajrayana Center in 2007! At this point we are working with
His Holiness’ private office for an official schedule. Once we receive confirmation from the private office we will
be able to finalize the date. This is a very auspicious and historic occasion and a source of great blessings for
the entire Bay Area. During this visit it is anticipated that His Holiness will be giving teachings, blessings and a public talk.
His Holiness the Dalai Lama will be turning 70 this year and this may be the only opportunity we have to host His Holiness
in San Jose. Although Gyuto Center is a very small center we have a very big heart and the sincere aspiration to bring the
Buddha's precious teachings to the greater community. This is an excellent opportunity to strengthen our Dharma community
and our commitment to the Dharma. Please help us in whatever you can.
Planning Meeting
We are planning a general meeting on May 21st at 3 p.m. and we are inviting each and every one of our members and anyone
else who would like to help with His Holiness’ visit to San Jose. Please contact me by email at: info@gyutocenter.org or
by phone at: (408) 926-9430 if you have any questions. Finally, I thank all of our members and supporters who have given
so much encouragement for me to request that HH the Dalai Lama come to San Jose. Due to your good merit and that of the
entire Bay Area, it has happened!
Thank you
Ven. Donyo, Director
