A brief report of the recent events that occurred in Tashigar Norte after the wonderful relaunch season we had from December 2023 to March 2024
During the last week of June, a remarkable event took place at Merigar, on the green slopes of Mt. Amiata, in Tuscany, Italy.
I had the note ‘Khaita Exam’ in my calendar for the 14th to 20th April. I knew that within that time frame there would be three days dedicated to the exam.
Lying somewhere in the stacks of the British Library is a small book of magical spells, over a thousand years old, handwritten in Tibetan and taken in 1907 from the cave library of the Silk Route town of Dunhuang.
Elia Bernadoni shares his memories of how he met Rinpoche and became the youngest Khaita instructor. “Every time that I dance Khaita I remember Rinpoche, and for every dance that we danced with him I have some memory. For each dance it is different.”
Marco Baseggio, International Atiyoga Foundation Chairman, thinking about the second anniversary of the passing of our beloved Master, sharing his reflections on what the legacy of Chögyal Namkhai Norbu is for him.
When we heard that we had not much more time with our Master on this earth in this particular human form, I resolved to fly to Merigar to be with him and with the community in these final days. It felt vital to make a strong personal connection with the world-wide Sangha, that is, our Vajra Kin, across the globe as well as with my beloved master of all times. I had never been to another Gar outside Australia.

The transition and continuation at Merigar East is happening quite neatly. Our capacities are uniting and the Gar can benefit more.
The children’s program, which was humbly initiated at Kunsangar North last winter during the holidays, has now spontaneously come back to life.
After the resumption of “face to face” activities in June, the summer was full of events, despite the Coronavirus rules limiting the number of participants.
Whilst it’s been very quiet at the Gar in terms of retreat activities it has been busy in other regards as Namgyalgar enters a new phase of evolvement.
