Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche's New Book Available in July!

doublerainbowDear Friends,

This issue features a special excerpt from Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche's beautiful new book: Spontaneous Creativity: Meditations for Manifesting Your Positive Qualities, published by Hay House, Inc. The book will be available on July 17. In this excerpt on  “Connecting to the Source” Rinpoche reminds us of who we truly are. From that space of the open joy of being, creativity arises in unlimited ways as natural, spontaneous and intrinsically human expression. Thank you, Rinpoche, for your creativity. We can't wait for the book!

We are also happy to announce one other new book, this one by Alejandro Chaoul, senior student and the director of research for Ligmincha International. It is titled Tibetan Yoga for Health & Well-Being. It, too is, scheduled to be released on July 17. Congratulations, Ale!

This spring marked a milestone at Serenity Ridge, Ligmincha International's headquarters in Virginia, with the completion of a beautiful new multipurpose building named Kunzang Khang—House of All Goodness. Many people attended the lovely ribbon-cutting ceremony and dinner in the new building afterwards. If you were not able to be there, we have lots of photographs and details to share about the event and this wonderful new addition to Serenity Ridge that also will benefit the international community.

There's more:
