Hello friends. I just wanted to let you know that Geshe-la is giving this book as a present to everyone.
It's a beautiful amazing book distilling all of his teaching and advice into incredibly clear, succinct advise which is 100% practice oriented. From page one you know exactly what to practice, how and why. I use it as a daily meditation book - working through it section by section with contemplation and meditation every day. I find it really alive with blessings and urgent with instilling in me a strong desire to practice, understand and realise!
I really can't praise the book highly enough. It even includes essential Sadhanas in vol 3, like Quick path, 21 Tara etc. I'm so moved by this gift - I hope many other people will also enjoy it, in the deepest sense of that word :-D.
Thank you Geshe-la!

I downloaded it on the kindle and on my mobile. It is great to have it always available. It is sooo beautiful to have the chance to read these instructions whenever I have few minutes of free time.. Thank you Gehe'la.

There will be a long life puja for Geshe Kelsang Gyatso at Shar Gaden tomorrow. We are all very excited. ;D
-
Thats wonderful to support Shar Gaden by conducting long life pujas for lamas there. The monasteries are the ones that preserve our lineage and tradition.
-
The first long-life puja for Geshe Kelsang Gyatso just finished. There will be another one at Trijang Ladrang after lunch. The devotion the monks have for Geshe-la is very uplifting. All of the monks were given a picture of Geshe-la to put on their altars.
Happy Birthday Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.

Thank you Robert Thomas for the link!
May Geshe Kelsang Gyatso lives long to continue turn the wheel of dharma to benefit many more.

10 senior Geshes and tulkus of Shar Gaden performed an extended Guru Puja with tsog just a little while ago in the throne-room of Trijang Ladrang. It was a very powerful experience.
Very exciting day here at Shar Gaden. A total of three different pujas were held today in honor of Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. ;D

First, there were simultaneous pujas for Geshe Kelsang Gyatso in the two prayer halls of Shar Gaden.
Next was a small puja in the debate hall with all of the younger monks. The school principal gave a short speeh about his respect for Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. This was followed by the cutting and sharing of a huge birthday cake to mark Geshe-la's 80th birthday.
Next there was the puja at Trijang Ladrang, attended by senior Geshes and Rinpoches. This was an extended Guru Puja with tsog.
I was fortunate to be at all of the above pujas. What a blessing for everyone present.
The new framed picture of Geshe Kelsang Gyatso will now be installed in the main prayer hall of the monastery.

Wow! Would love to see that - can you take a picture and upload it here or in the Shar Gaden news thread? That would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Robert,
Thanks for the link.
Dear TS,
Thanks for the info', It is great to know the monks at Shar Ganden hold Geshe-la in such high regard. Rejoice!! There is no one who compares to Geshe Kelsang from the point of view of the amount he has benefited the beings of this planet by spreading the the clear and pure teachings of Lama Tsongkhapa so far and wide. He has given everyone the opportunity to enter and complete the path to Buddhahood. He has also helped the Monks at Shar Ganden by standing for them and openly opposing the ban of protector Dorje Shugden.

May Geshe Keslang remain long life and turn Dharma Wheel. :D

@gomchen,

Yes Geshe Kelsang Gyatso was one of the first few lamas who challenged the ban on Dorje Shugden face on, I must admire his courage. Bringing to bear all his centres around the world to create awareness about the ban and so forth. I may not agree with some of the methods employed, but he definitely made an impact in getting out information as to what are the effects of the ban and how it affects the monks and lay people who previously engaged in dorje shudgen.
May NKT carry on supporting Shar Gaden and Serpom monasteries for the preservation of the Gelug tradition in whatever the monasteries require for sustenance and expansion.

Thanks for sharing this link, Robert.
I am a big fan of Geshe-la. Geshe-la has made Dharma so accessible to modern people. No words can describe Geshe Kelsang Gyatso's contribution to the spread of Dharma especially the teachings of Lama Tsongkhapa and Lord Dorje Shugden.
Thank You Geshe-la. Please live long and continue to turn the Wheel of Dharma.

The ebook contains even more Sadhanas than the printed version :-) How cool is this?

Any Lama who spreads the Dharma in such a capacity as Geshe Kelsang Gyatso deserves anybody's respect. This is regardless of whether we agree with some of his methods or not. If we were to criticize Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, we are like saying we can do a better job than him.
I am really amazed at his amazing books, that brings the dusty ancient teachings of the Great Classics into the light of modern simple English. The amazing great teachings of the Pandits of India and Tibet are suddenly accessible and available for countless people to read and study its deep meaning. I have not known of any other great teacher who has performed such an amazing feat thus far.
I am also amazed that his organization is all over the world and has brought the Gaden tradition and spread Dorje Shugden to over a thousand great centers all over the world. I am sure this Lama wouldn't stop finding new ways to spread the Buddhadharma and the Internet is just a wonderful avenue for the great Lamas, especially the younger ones.
