Benchen Monastery, May 3, 2021

Following the advice of HH Karmapa XVII Ogyen Trinley Dorje Chagdzö Tashi Öser, Khenpo Ösung, Sherap Wangchuk, Gyurme Phuntsok and myself went to Ge Nyima, who had been a teacher of His Holiness, at his retreat in Parphing on 29. March. We requested him to teach Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche Yangsi every winter for a few months as advised by His Holiness. Fortunately, Ge Nyima accepted our request.
Furthermore, His Holiness advised Tenga Rinpoche Yangsi to shorten his hair. Rinpoche accepted and now likes to wear short hair very much while it looks good too. Moreover, His Holiness advised that when Rinpoche first arrives in his village in the summer he shall have off without classes and enjoy his life playing with the other children. For further two months in the summer Khenpo Ösung shall be teaching Rinpoche. In the winter time Ge Nyima will teach Rinpoche at the monastery.
Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche's family is very fine and is staying in Rö these days.

Benchen Buddha Maitreya Project, March 31, 2019

We invite you to kindly support and make donation to “Benchen Buddha Maitreya Project”

By being a part of the “Benchen Buddha Maitreya Project” through funding or contributing to it, in cash or in kind, one continuously generates and accumulates good merits as long as the temple remains for the benefits of all.

The Buddha taught that one of the supreme means of accumulating merit and wisdom through the body, speech, and mind is by building monasteries and teaching centers.

A Monastery is not just
a place that shelters sacred statues, scriptures, and sangha, but also
a place where the sacred teachings of the Buddha are being taught to benefit so many.

A place where actual healing of the mind begins.
It is not a place where only one person comes but thousands will gather.
It is not where only one person teaches but many great teachers will teach.
