在「自然環境保護組織」(Khoryug) 的召集下，來自印度、尼泊爾和不丹的45位寺院代表，出席第六屆喜馬拉雅地區藏傳佛教寺院的環境保護會議。本屆會議旨在擬定未來五年的行動計劃，做為「自然環境保護組織」旗下所有寺院努力的目標。這份計劃的草案將在會議圓滿日時呈現給法王。
Khoryug means ‘environment’ in Tibetan and the organization’s sixth conference on Environmental Protection for Tibetan Buddhist Monasteries and Nunneries in the Himalayas has brought together 45 monastic delegates representing monasteries and nunneries in India, Nepal and Bhutan. The goal of the conference is to create the Next Five Year Action Plan for all Khoryug monasteries. A draft of the plan will be presented to the Gyalwang Karmapa when he addresses the conference on the final day.

回顧過往，代表們將在會中審核過去五年的成果，內容包括水資源和能源保育、森林重建、廢棄物管理和氣候變遷等環保計劃。代表們將分享那些計劃最有成效，同時也將評估計劃成果是否達到當初設定的目標。
The delegates will examine the previous five years of projects involving environmental issues such as water and energy conservation, reforestation, waste management and climate change. They will share what projects were most effective and whether the outcomes met the original goals.

展望未來，代表們將討論「自然環境保護組織」的一般行政，例如組織架構、協調、溝通、募款和計劃的執行。
Looking to the future the delegates will discuss the following administrative themes for Khoryug in general: Organization, Coordination, Communication, Fundraising and Implementation.

過去一年，來自耶魯大學和普林斯頓大學的三位研究生，對「自然環境保護組織」旗下寺院的環保活動進行研究。這項研究的結果將在會中發表，以做為「自然環境保護組織」未來五年策略的參考。
In the past year, three graduate students from Yale and Princeton universities carried out research on the activities of Khoryug monasteries. A group review of the research by the participants will contribute to the upcoming five year strategy of Khoryug.

「自然環境保護組織」是法王在2009年創建的組織，旨在關切並解決環境的問題和挑戰。至今，「自然環境保護組織」的會員從草創的22所寺院成長至55所，而藏傳佛教各個傳承的寺院也在其中。本次會議由「遍護慈善信託」(Kun Kyong Charitable Trust)所贊助。
