MUktinath of Nepal

cause any damage at the pilgrimage site Muktinath-Chumig Gyatsa in the Himalayas of Nepal. There are no casualities. Also the traditional caretakers, the Muktinath nuns, are all fine, including those staying in Kathmandu at the moment.
No MFI board members are currenlty in Nepal. We recommend to channel DONATIONS for the victims of the earthquake through Karuna- Shechen. 100% will be used for local relieve. Just go to the website and take it from there. Even a small donation via Paypal helps.
Muktinath
Muktinath-Chumig Gyatsa is one of the most important pilgrimage sites of Nepal for both Buddhists and Hindus. It is a great example to our world of a sacred place shared in harmony by devotees of two world religions.
The traditional caretakers of the sacred place are the nuns of the lineage of Lama Wangyal. Their international support is channeled via the MFI. For more information, please see our donation page.
For other nunneries nearby, please see here. This page includes a link to a very nice movie about Muktinath-Chumig Gyatsa and the nuns of the lineage of Shangpa Rinpoche.
Renovation
The renovation of Narsingh Gompa and the Central Temple started last year. The works on the Central Temple are completed. For recent pictures, please, see our new Flickr account. During the next few weeks we will upload more pictures.

There are at least three winning tickets in the US for the record $1.6bn (£1.1bn) lottery jackpot, officials have said.
The winning tickets in the Powerball jackpot were sold in California, Tennessee and Florida.
The previous draw was the 19th without a grand prize winner, which requires all six numbers to match.
Officials said it would take several hours to know if there were any other winning tickets.

Wining numbers in 13 January draw
The identity of the winners is not yet known.
Thousands of people queued up outside shops across the US on Wednesday, hoping to defy the odds of 292.2 million to one.
California Lottery tweeted that the winning ticket in the state was sold at a 7-Eleven store in Chino Hills, a suburb east of Los Angeles.
Television pictures showed a cheering crowd gathering at the shop after the result was announced.
The winners will share a prize of $1.586bn. They can collect their winnings in annual payments over 29 years, or opt to share a lump-sum payment of $930m.
The government will also share in the big prize, however, levying a 39.6% federal income tax on the winners - and the payout will also be subject any taxes that the winners' home states may impose
