KHENSUR WANGDAK RINPOCHE RETURNS TO SRAVASTI ABBEY

KHENSUR WANGDAK RINPOCHE RETURNS TO SRAVASTI ABBEY

Back to 2009 Gallery

 For the 4th time since the founding of Sravasti Abbey, Khensur Wangdak Rinpoche visits and gives teachings. Rinpoche continues with sublime teachings on Chapter 2 of Santideva’s Guide to a Bodhisattva’s Way of Life.

It has also become a tradition that when Rinpoche visits he blesses the Abbey in some way. This time he blesses Gotami House in the beautiful library full of light. We pray always for Khensur Wangdak’s long life - he is very special to us.


What a lovely moment! The Washington State University forestry class, who is doing forest study on the Abbey land, offer khatas to Khensur Wangdak the day he arrives. They enjoy meeting a Tibetan lama.


A door becomes an altar as Rinpoche blesses the new monastic residence.


The teachings on Santideva?s Guide to a Bodhisattva?s Way of Life inspire and empower many of us listening.


Nick, the youngest participant at the teachings, receives a gift from Rinpoche.


John Newman offers his translation skills. He has a calm and clear presence which is necessary when translating the Dharma.
