After finishing instructions and initiations for the new retreat group in the Pharping Clear Light Center, Rinpoche will return to Benchen Monastery in Kathmandu on February 4th. In the monastary the preparations for the losar festivities and the Mahakala rituals will start soon.  Of course Rinpoche will participate in all the celebrations and rituals.
Meanwhile in Pharping and in the monastery some necessary adjustments have been implemented. Some ramps have been build to make it possible for Rinpoche  to get into the meditation halls with his wheelchair etc.

Spring Course Update!

Even though Ven. Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche will not teach by himself, he has decided that this years Spring Course will be taught by two of our young Khenpos, Khenpo Sonam Gyurme and Khenpo Tsondru Tharchin. They will teach on the 1st chapter of the Bodhicharyavatara, The Benefits of Bodhicitta. The dates for the course will remain the same.

Important Notice!

Ven. Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche has returned to his monastery in Kathmandu yesterday, Jan. 23rd 2010, from Singapore. He is in very good health and spirits and has healed very nicely. Even though, the monastic community and associated students etc. have requested Rinpoche strongly to take a much needed rest and please not to engage in any activities which are not absolutely vital. On the basis of this, Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche has accepted our request and decided to cancel this years Spring Course. We would like to apologize very much for any inconvenience caused, especially to those who have made travel arrangements already.

On Sunday 10 January H.E. the present Kalu Rinpoche has been in Singapure and came to visit Tenga Rinpoche. It was a very nice meeting and both the Rinpoches felt very happy.

Every day Tenga Rinpoche is doing training and exercises to manage his situation better, to keep balance and to learn how to move. Rinpoche is quite healthy and feeling very well. He sends his greetings to everyone.
