This will assist in the children’s diet which are currently nutritionally borderline adequate, and help them overcome some chronic medical conditions due to malnutrition.

This vitamin supply drive will be sent out the week of Thanksgiving from Dorje Ling Buddhist Center in Atlanta in co-ordination with the medical doctor in charge.

If you would like to help in purchasing some vitamins for these wonderful little lamas, please read below:

1. we agree on a certain single vitamin preparation.
   The one from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Childrens-Chewable-Vitamins-1000-Count/dp/B002NXFS7W would be fine unless someone has a better suggestion
2. everyone who wants to do this orders one or more bottles from Amazon on their credit card, to be delivered either to them personally or to Dorje Ling Buddhist Center – Atlanta, c/o Ted Lee – doctor in charge, 3253 Shallowford Rd NE
   Chamblee, GA 30341-3632
   (770) 451-7715
3. You can also make a small donation from the link on the right.
4. after all these have arrived we’ll FedEx or DHL all together to the manager of monastery in Nepal–I anticipate shipping will cost around $50-60, maybe more but we will be assured that the package reaches its intended destination.

9 bottles will last 4 months, 13 bottles will last 6 months–I hope we can send at least 9 bottles.

Maybe we can allow 3-4 weeks for everyone to place orders and for them to arrive & plan to send out shipment the week before Thanksgiving?

warm regards to all,
happy Lhabab Duchen -

Khenpo Choejor returns to Atlanta this Saturday after traveling and teaching for nearly five months.
Dorje Ling is thrilled to have him back and is hosting a dinner in his honor at
7 pm, Sat. Oct 16.

Khenpo Choejor

All friends of the center are welcome to attend, and please bring a dish to share (Khenpo loves vegetarian food, but whatever you bring is wonderful). Khenpo is always happy to meet new people and enjoys children too, so feel free to bring your family. It’s a tradition to greet your teacher with a khata, but your presence is more than enough.

And we have a big SECRET request!! The founder of our center, Amy Lee, has a birthday on Sunday, so the welcome dinner will double as a surprise birthday party. She has made many Dharma teachings available for all of us. Let’s surprise her with a birthday cake. Shhh!

Volunteers Needed to Prepare for Khenpo

The Friday night Book Study group will do some house cleaning for Khenpo’s arrival, and we need as many additional volunteers as possible at 7:30PM this Friday, Oct. 15. We’ll need the grass cut, windows dusted, floors swept and downstairs arranged. Bring any cleaning products/tools you have.

If you can’t volunteer, you can still contribute by donating items on the center’s wish list:

• Paper towels
• Toilet paper
• Kitty litter (Ellen may need help buying Advantage for Karpo Kitty)
• Grocery items for Khenpo (especially vegetables)
• Tea
• Soap
• Laundry detergent

Special Guest, Douglas Duckworth

Douglas Duckworth, one of our dear translators, and his family will be staying at the center this weekend while attending the events for His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s visit at Emory. We will invite them to share in our community dinner so you can help us welcome him and hear the voice of our translator in person!

Thank you!! If you have other ideas for ways to prepare for Khenpo, please contact info@jonang.org.
