Khordong Byangter Monastery was founded by the late Chhimed Rigdzin Rinpoche in order to protect and spread the teachings of this lineage which were taught by Padmasambhava and rediscovered in the 14th and 19th century by the tertons Rigdzin Godem and Nuden Dorje.
Tonight India will celebrate the big festival of Shiva Rathri all over the country, while on February 22nd, the whole tibetan community in China and around the world will celebrate the new year with great joy and auspicious aspirations for all sentient beings over the next 12 months of the tibetan calendar.
We will do same here at the gompa together with the monks and our guests. May all our best wishes be with you in this water dragon year. May you be strong in your practice and in your faith in Rinpoche.
