Benchen Phuntsok Ling is the European seat of His Eminence Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche and Very Venerable Tenga Rinpoche.
It was Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche who chose the name "Benchen Phuntsok Ling" for this place to indicate the close connection to the Benchen Phuntsok Dargyeling monastery in Kathmandu.
In a letter to his disciples from 1998 Tenga Rinpoche describes his vision of Benchen Phuntsok Ling:
"… this shall be a place for all of you where you can practice the Dharma, for some weeks, some months or any length of time. It has the goal of creating a permanent location for summer courses …"

Everybody is invited to join the recitation of Tara Mantras.

Construction Progress before Winter |
|
Due to the quite rough climate in this part of Belgium there is always the danger that the coming winter might cause severe damage to some of the buildings.
Therefore during the summer course 2011 Benchen Phuntsok Ling expressed the need for financial support to finish some important work before the winter would start. Many people responded to this announcement and contributed a bigger or smaller amount of money.
The weather conditions were very good during the last weeks and a lot of outdoor work could be finished.
