The Benchen Shenpen is an association of Benchen ex-monks who are helping the monastery to serve tea and cleaning whenever necessary. On November 28 the monks had a meeting with Drubwang Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche (pictures 1-6). On the 29th Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche completed the Damngagdzö initiations which have altogether taken 49 days.

The representatives of the Tsadra Foundation, which was the co-sponsor for the empowerments, offered a mandala, ku, sung, thug headed by Shawn the translator to Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche (picture 8). The Benchen Community also offered a mandala, ku, sung thug in order to express our thankfulness to Rinpoche headed by me, Khenpo and so on (pictures 9-15). Later you can see Tom (picture 16) who helped in the vip area during lunchtime. You can also see people lining up for food and having lunch (picture 17-24). On the last pictures you see overall impressions during the last day.
Thats all now.
Namaste, Tempa
