Notes from Lama Gursam's talk on the meaning of "om mani padme hum" are now on this site.

Lama Gursam performed an animal blessing at a Boston area shelter. It was mentioned in the local press and they have a photo gallery. There is also a Youtube video of him speaking about the White Tara mantra and then reciting it.

A major earthquake, measuring 7.1 on the Richter scale, struck Yushu county in Qinghai province eastern Tibet just before 8am local time on 14 April. The death toll is now over 2000 and may still rise. The epicentre of the earthquake was Rima village, Jyeku (pronounced Cheku), capital of Yushu County, where it has been reported that 80 per cent of the Tibetan buildings, including schools, have been destroyed. Thousands of local residents, over 95 per cent being Tibetan, face overnight temperatures below freezing without shelter. There is no electricity and all the telephone lines are down, so contact with the outside world will become difficult once mobile phone batteries expire.
