Again, it is very fortunate that the students of our two Rinpoches
were able to participate in the annual summer course 2006 at the
main seat of H.E. Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche and Ven. Tenga
Rinpoche in the West, Benchen Phuntsok Ling in Almuthen, Belgium.
It is always a great blessing and inspiration to be close to the
masters and everyone had an opportunity to receive teachings,
private audiences and initiations,

Summer course participants

although the Rinpoches did not manage to give a lot of time for
private audiences because of the great number of participants. It
is always nice to see so many new faces in the gatherings.
The farewell party was held before the end of the course this year
as Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche had to leave early in order to visit
other European centers at the request of his students in other
countries. The children’s corner worked very hard to prepare the
wonderful demonstrations of their gymnastic and musical skills.
Not only the children, but the children’s care staff and volunteers
did a wonderful job and deserve a lot of praise for their work.
