Today we saved snails. And pigeons, too. We trekked up to a hidden hillside that I had never noticed just beside Dhagpo, rife with lupines and wild grasses, Technicolor in contrast with the sky’s somber tones.
The snails smelled like ocean and tried to squeeze their wet bodies through the mesh tubes containing them. They reached […]
Today we saved lives. Over one hundred people came out to the vegetable field below Dhagpo to set free over one thousand redworms. Between the rows of recently plowed earth, people stood, holding wire-bound prayer books printed especially for this occasion, and those that will follow. Rinpoche stood at the center, unassuming as ever, chanting […]

The question was simple: how do we celebrate 14,600 days of activity, thousands of course participants—from the simply curious to the committed practitioner, hundreds of the most […]
We begin on Losar, the Lunar New Year. This day marks the entry into the Year of Wood Goat, and the beginning of Dhagpo’s 40th anniversary. This year is bigger than itself. It is the moment when the past and future meet, when we consider how we will move forward and honor the history […]
