Kukkuripa Legacy Award bestowed on H.E. Thiksey Rinpoche

It was a privilege and an honor to present His Eminence Thiksey Rinpoche with the Kukkuripa Legacy Award yesterday on the occasion of his 84th birthday. His enduring compassion and support for the animals of Ladakh should be an example to us all. We thank him profusely for the donation of the land for our shelter and for allowing us space at the Chamba Hotel & Restaurant for our charity gift shop.

You can see some of the celebration below, including the shelter’s remarks beginning at minute 14:10.
