Hello Everyone,

If you have any friends or relatives who are planning to send their child/children to class this new year, please let them know that they can come and register on Aug. 1.

On Aug. 1, our first day of class, please make sure that your child/children have their lyrics for the 3 Techung songs that we have learned.  We need to practice them so that we can sing them (VERY WELL) at Tibet Fest.  We will also be putting on our Fashion Show during Tibet Fest. So please start looking around in your closets and start putting together any beautiful Tibetan costumes you might have.  If things need to be cleaned, adjusted, etc. now is the time to do it.
Enjoy,
Tsewang  Chamatsang

NEW SEMSHAE PROMO VIDEO - Seattle PHOTOS 

Please join the local Sunday School students at Sakya Gonpa to celebrate the release of Techung’s long-awaited “Semshae-Heart Songs” CD!  This brand new CD features original and traditiona

l children songs about peace, gardens, the seasons, musical instruments, and temples, as well as songs that teach kids of all backgrounds the Tibetan alphabet, numbers, and colors. The mission of the Semshae-

Heart Songs project is to ensure that Tibet’s language and culture of compassion are preserved through children music for all ages.

The composer and man behind this charming album is Tashi Sharzur (a.k.a. Techung), former artistic director of Chaksampa, activist and former staff of Milarepa Fund.  Other artists and guests, including local Tibetan children, will join Techung to perform pieces from the new CD.  The proceeds from the CD sales at this event will help pay for the distribution of free CDs to children in Tibet and India.  This is part of a series of release parties Techung will be holding across the U.S. over the next few months.
