khenpo Sodargye from Larung Gar Buddhist Academy had been considered to be one of the most active and popular Nyingma teachers in Chinese speaking internet circle for a decade. but between the end of 2019 and early 2020, a lot of his dharma materials gone off line. his website(mercy and wisdom) have been shut down. Since then, he hardly made any public appearances in Chinese speaking internet circle. does anyone know the latest news of Khenpo Sodargy.?

Is this the same Khenpo?

Q:Is the ability “to see what is in front of us” a way of escaping from the image-prison which surrounds us?
A: Very definitely, yes. But this is an ability which very few people have, and fewer and fewer as time passes.

Ok, I thought you were asking if they were still active etc.

I kept seeing videos of his teaching on FB until last month. It would be sad if China is cracking down again.

Different people abbreviate it to Fb or fb.

I still receive regular updates from his mailing list. I was lucky to catch some of his live zoom teachings during the pandemic. I think he may have stopped live broadcasts to keep a low profile although he is still posting recorded teachings on FB.

From what I heard, he is still teaching at the Larung Gar, this Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/@zhihuihai1/videos has regular updates from him, but I won't be totally surprised if it gets taken down due to political pressure.

If you want to get regular updates, you better find their WeChat group, which is their go-to place and it's pretty closed, as they want to keep a very low profile for the obvious reason.

Online religious events like Zoom now have to be regulated and licensed by the ccp. They probably didn't give him approval.

You got to give it to the CCP to always get themselves inserted in everything.

YOU ARE DOING, THEN THERE IS NO LIMIT TO WHAT

the latest activity is the publication of his translation of Sera Khandro's autobiography, though not a public publication, but can be ordered and obtained easily within Buddhism circle.
he also had other official publications updated, such as dolpopa's commentary on maitreya's sublime tantra.

Could you let me know how to purchase Sera Khandro's autobiography?
