During the Kagyu Monlam in March 2012 those of Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche's students and followers from Holland, Germany, Poland, Denmark and Italy and so on who attended the Monlam requested His Holiness Gyalwang Karmapa what best they could do for Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche's health. His Holiness suggested they could do the Namgyalma practice 1000 times and that this would be very beneficial for Rinpoche's health.

This year our monastery had a very nice and big Mahakala statue for blessing the audience of the lama dance which is about one story tall. The statue was constructed mainly under Lama Sherap's creative guidance with the help of our genius monks. They built a wonderful Mahakala statue according to Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche's wishes.

Since 13th December Rinpoche has been here in Kathmandu and is recovering very, very slowly. Rinpoche's condition is like this:

The amputations of the left foot and the finger have healed very, very well. Now Rinpoche's health problem is his heart valves, two valves do not open or close very well. As a consequence of this his lungs fill with water which makes it difficult to move and causes him to cough a lot. Rinpoche is also losing his appetite and he has lost a lot of weight and has become quite thin.

Dear Dharma Brothers and Sisters,

I am very happy to inform you that Tenga Rinpoche is recovering very well. Therefore, Rinpoche will be returning to Kathmandu tomorrow, 13th December 2011. Rinpoche will be taking a good rest upon his return to the monastery.
