We ask you to join us in reducing or giving up meat and dedicating the merit to the long life and good health of our Abbot, Choje Lama Yeshe Losal Rinpoche, to the elimination of all disease, famine, fighting and wars and to establishing World Peace.

Contact us at paldron@samyelingshop.com to make a commitment (or if you already have a commitment but wish to dedicate it in this way) and we will email you a form to complete.

All pledges returned by the end of January 2015 will be presented to Lama Rinpoche at the end of his Winter Retreat.
