Effortlessness
Since His Holiness has made the manifestation of the center seem so easy and effortless, it is difficult to realize just how much effort and work he has put into creating this environment .

Challenges for the Year
This year was particularly challenging as the Kalachakra event drew many more hundreds of practitioners to visit the center. This required us to build more accommodations and infrastructure so we could serve this increased population at the center.

Health
While we are remembering the kindness of our teacher, we thought we'd like to mention, as some of you have asked, His Holiness experienced some health problems in 2007. We wanted to let you all know he had an opportunity to recuperate well at the center in upstate New York prior to departing for Asia, and to thank you all for your well wishes and prayers! He has particularly experienced some difficulties with his eyesight.

The long-term presence of His Holiness in 2007 has brought many blessings to Palyul Ling. His Holiness put a tremendous effort into the programs this year as his health was not as strong as it is normally. He persevered despite these health issues and was able to grant us the Kalachakra Empowerments, powerful practices and prayers for peace in the world. He was also able to teach often at the summer retreat, requesting His Holiness Karma Kuchen Rinpoche to assist in giving the empowerments and teachings when needed.
