Jampel zhidrup program 2023

An annual 5-days Jampel zhidrup program led by Kyabje Tang Rinpoche. This year, the program was held at the Paro College of Education. It started on January 4, coinciding with the 19th anniversary of Lama Choje Jigme Phunshok’s parinirvana. Kyabje Tang Rinpoche bestowed numerous empowerments, oral transmissions and was giving instructions to the gathering.

The freezing night on the 4th of December. The snow is falling on the monastery in Bumthang Chumey. The close student of Khenchen Jigme Phunstok, Trulku Choney Rangshar (known as Tang Rinpoche) remains in his meditation house without electricity and heaters. The snow has melted at night and the house is surrounded with water. It has not been melted by the sunlight which is surprising to observers.
