A Precious Dharma Opportunity Monastic Ordination

Bestowed by Khenchen Konchog Gyaltshen Rinpoche

Establishing the Buddhist Sangha in the West

Friday October 30th, 2026
Gar Drolma Buddhist Center — Dayton, Ohio

With great joy and auspicious aspiration, Khenchen Konchog GyaltshenRinpoche, will confer Buddhist monastic vows upon those who sincerely wish to enter the path of the Sangha.

This is a deeply meaningful occasion—not only for those receiving vows, but for the future of the Buddha Dharma in the 
Western world.

For more than 2,500 years, the teachings of the Buddha have been preserved and transmitted through the devoted lives of monks and nuns. Now we have the aspiration to establish this precious tradition firmly in the West, so that it may flourish and benefit 
generations to come.

If you have an interest in receiving ordination vows, please contact info@gardrolma.org as participation must be planned in advance. Attendance for ordination is open only to those receiving vows.

May the Sangha flourish.
May the Three Jewels shine brightly for generations to come.
May this noble aspiration become a cause for immeasurable benefit to all sentient beings.

With pure aspiration and prayers,
Tashi Delek. 🙏
