KHCP-Tour Stopover #2:
Karmapas university (Shedra) in Kalimpong:
Two-hours tour by jeep from Takdah to Kalimpong
The Shedra, which was founded by Sharmapa, is by now attended
by 124 Students. 34 of them will receive their diploma within
the next days. Our prospective Khenpos have invited us for
their graduation ceremony.
But for now, let’s take a look at activities:
The three-day Mahakala Puja will start soon and there is a lot
to plan.
Karma Sherab and Sero introduce us to Karma Ngeleg and Ngawang
Tharchin. Both are supposed to continue the work of KHCP in the
future. The students resolve to write little reports on
healthcare and life in the Shedra in the future. A photographer
and a journalist are quickly found. They will contribute to
livelier presentation on the KHCP-webpage.
After the account of the financial means it is agreed on to
set up a budget plan for this year.
It is resolved that the students shall become socially active
now. They want to open their next medial camp in summer for the
people who are living in the vicinity of the shedra. Our
journalists will surely be reporting on this.
A part of the budget had to be designated to keeping up health
care locations.
The water purification system needs renovation.
Finally, we watch films and slide shows on Kalimpong and KHCP,
enjoying the great Mahakala puja.
Thereafter, we travelled on to Rumtek / Sikkim.
