Sravasti Abbey remembers missing monk

It's mostly quiet in the meditation hall of the Sravasti Abbey, nestled in its corner of Pend Orielle County near Newport. This group of Tibetan Buddhist monks and nuns is missing someone. Geshe Dadul Namgyal began teaching at the abbey in 2008, visiting every year for a week to ten days. He became a permanent resident about a year and a half ago. While talking to Thubten Chonyi, one of the senior nuns at the abbey, it's clear Namgyal was a beloved part of the monastery. "He was fun. He was funny. He was razor sharp in his intellect and how he shared the teachings,” she said. MORE: https://www.krem.com/article/news/loc...
