An important message from the International Gakyil

Rinpoche has clarified that only the name ‘Dzamling Gar’ is to be written in two words.

All other names of Gars and Lings should remain as they were before, written as one word – so for example, Merigar, Tsegyalgar, Rangdrolling, etc.

Some Gars and Lings have already registered their new IDC Statutes with their name in two words. In this case, it is not necessary to register a change of name immediately. However, if your new Statute is not yet registered, please use the name as one word.

We apologise for any inconvenience.
