Dear All

Hope you are all very well! I came to Chengdu on September 10th to meet Akong Rinpoche and to start our yearly ROKPA- project trip from here. This year its beginning was exceptional as we were first invited to a grand Anniversary Festival: 50 years Yunnan! We flew to an unearthly beautiful place rightly called Shangri-la in Yunnan. (This where the famous tea comes from - strangely I found many shops selling Yunnan Coffee and hardly any tea - I guess this gets shipped abroad!).

We were the guests of the Local Government and were treated as grand VIPs! This is thanks to Akong Rinpoche who has intiated a number of ROKPA projects in this Province. The Hotel was magnificent (no one drunk in the corridors - no one screaming outside at the dead of night or smoking in your room - the shoes left outside Rinpoche's room (one
takes them off out of respect) - disappeared instantly in order to be returned sparkling and near-new 10 Minutes later - fruit was brought to the room daily
