Tolu monastery rusting away.

Hi Mr. President Ang Kami Salaka Sherpa

The world is getting smaller in the universe.  You know that's not new any
more in our time today we are moving forward.  Over the year, I find many
of Sherpa people migrate to other country specially in the USA, Japan, and so on.
By the way,  how often do you go to Phayula Tapting village?  Do you know
any thing about Tolu Gumba in Tolu (Tolhaka)?  I heard Tolu Gumba 700
years old monastery were rusting away.  Well,  Tolu Gumba stand atop above
Patle, Phapre and Tapting's Garza Brotherhoods known as Gorja from Phapre,
Tapting and Ganba from Patle so that we are responsible to maintain Tolu
Monastery our cultural heritage over 700 years.  Ang kami Salaka Sherpa,
I'd like to bring to your attention about Tolu (Gumba) Monastery our
Buddhist cultural heritage sites.  Ang Kami Salaka sherpa, you are from
our Garza's (Gorja) family grandchildren generation too.  Do you recognize
me yet?  What you call to your grandmother's side family member such as,
Karma Gyalzen Garza (Gorja) Sherpa!
Moreover,  It seems just like yesterday, but time pass by so quick when
you have fun over 25 years now in the United State of America.  Anyway,
Good luck Mr. President Ang kami Salaka Sherpa

Best regards

Thanks for sharing the information, your thoughts and ideas. The world is
getting smaller and the people are getting smarter!
I am familiar with the Tolu Gumba. I also heard that it is not in good
condition and that many of the old statues inside are missing. You know
that the Tolu Gumba used to be in the Solu district, now the government
has changed that and it is in the Okhaldunga district.  I know about the
Tolu Gumba very well.  If you would like me to put this topic on the
Tapting Kyidug website, please find an article and photo and I will upload
it on the website.  This would raise awareness on the Tolu Gumba and
hopefully cause others to help.
I did not recognize you. Your name sounds familiar.  If you give me your
detailed information, we can talk more about the Tolu Gumba.
Thank you,
Tapting Kyidug

Dear Ang Kami Salaka (Sherpa)
Tolu Monastery were our cultural heritage site along with Buddhism study
and meditations.  This is between Patle and Tapting village council leader
starting with Tapting's Rinji Garza Sherpa (Gorja) and patle's Chhering
Dorji Garza, Sherpa that this two generation brotherhoods' used to debate
about Tolu Monastery and its belonging old statues...shown in Tapting
Gorja, Rinji's home.  Well, none of the above were better patron of Tolu
Monastery and its properties.  As you see Tolu Gumba is lot closer from
Tapting than from Patle.  Regardless, We must preserve our cultural
heritage sites in Tolu.
Lets take a look at Chiwong Monastery from Sangye Lama, the founder of
Chiwong Monastery well preserve for generation to come and today.
Lamje, Numbre and Tolu la Yak (kharka) places were we have Alpine meadow,
rolling hill there were our livestock for grazing.  You know We do have
better location in Tolu Monastery known as Tolu Tharling Gumba than
Chiwong Gumba.
I just brought up this to your president attention from Tapting Kyidug
because its there.  I'm from Patle-Phapre villate and in Phapre we have
our own private monastery and in the community.
Best regards
