OUR IMPORTANT SERIES OF EVENT FROM JUNE 30th TO JULY 5th 2013
It was a truly a very joyous and auspicious week for VE. In order to thank all the donors for our cow liberation project, we concluded the series of ceremonies by way of a Namgylama Longlife Puja done in Gaden Shartse Monastery in Dharamsala in the morning of June 30th. This puja was specially dedicated to our guru HHDL and all our donors and helpers in this project. The puja, presided by Kangyur Rinpoche started as early as 7am and concluded by 12.30pm. Vegetarian lunch cooked by two excellent chefs from VTC (the director himself and his student who works in Chonor House) was offered to the 17 lamas after the puja. It was a joyful occasion for all.
On the morning of July 1st, our VE member Rita was interviewed by Voice of Tibet regarding the cow liberation project. The interview was broadcasted in the same evening. It was heard by lots of Tibetans in Dharamsala and that was why in subsequent days when Rita was being introduced to various people, they all said: "We know who you are because we heard you on the radio" She was really caught by surprise with such sudden "fame". We did not know when it was being broadcasted and neither did we anticipate such a great number of audience!
Then on July 2nd noon, the highlight of our VE cow project came. The VE members and representatives of donors were given an audience by HHDL. During the audience, VE presented an album with a birthday message written in both Tibetan and English
representing all the donors to His Holiness and a compilation of photos from all the 8 liberations that we have done. We also presented to His Holiness with a 1'30'' video about the cow liberation which was to be broadcasted by Tibetonline TV. 



A big thank you from us for the video footage that was graciously done by our fellow dharma brother Wilson Lin on a pro bono basis. He even rushed the whole editing for us within 5 days to be in time for our travel to India. You can have a glimpse of the video attached here.(A higher resolution version was given to the TV station). It was being telecasted during their TV News on July 5th evening, the eve of His Holiness' birthday.
