New Generation of Monastics

Gampo Abbey's future will only unfold with the help of younger monastics taking on increased responsibilities from the founding generation during the next few years.

Some important steps in this process have been taken recently with Ani Lodro Palmo, Lodro Gyatso and Karma Jinpa receiving their full ordinations from Venerable Kenchen Thrangu Rinpoche.
