The Wisdom Age Newsletter of Drogmi Buddhist Institute A Tibetan Buddhist Centre in the Sakya Tradition Issue 44 January 2019 Dear friends, Welcome to our very first online, interactive Drogmi Buddhist Institute’s Newsletter – The Wisdom Age. Khenpo la has always encouraged us to share amongst one another, to express what we have personally learned and heard within the precious Buddhadharma taught and able to carry ‘it’ into our everyday lives, sharing with family, friends and all beings. The Wisdom Age over the last 8 years has been evolving in format so to distribute what is happening in Khenpo la’s busy teaching schedule, nationally, overseas and at home at Kamalashila Tibetan Buddhist Centre Tilba NSW, as well as being one big connected sangha worldwide! The Wisdom Age’s new format is part of this continual growth together, making it more user friendly on our mobile phones, tablets & laptops/PCs with ease and with voice activated options. Thank you to the newsletter/website team: Khenpo la, Ann, Robert, Franky and myself. Under Khenpo la’s continual and tireless guidance within the Buddhadharma come grow with us. Enjoy the read. Happy New Year, may your year and all time be blessed with pure happiness and wisdom.
