Namgyal Monastery Monks and Venerable Thubten Choephel, from Dharamsala, India, Visit to TBC, July 20, 2011
A very, very warm evening, and, in the year of our 20th anniversary, a very "suddenly appearing" visit from the monks of Namgyal Monastery in Dharamsala, India, and Venerable Thubten Choepel, Vajra Master of the Monastery. Namgyal is the personal monastery of His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama, and Losang Rinpoche's home for most of his life before traveling to the U.S. in 1988, and forming our center in 1991. Ven. Cheophel is one of Losang-La's main teachers. The monks led us in a deeply moving Green Tara Puja, and Long Life Prayer for His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama. Losang-La served as the Chant Master for the practice.
