There will be two morning sessions of intensive White Tara, Dolma Ngoedrub Kuntshol (the Tara who bestows all accomplishment) practice and two afternoon sessions of Tsheringma (the female protector of Milarepa) practice. Merits and dedications of long-life will be offered to Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche on 13th April from 8.30 am. These will be offered through the representations of Mandala, body, speech, mind, quality and activities.
There will be a birthday-cake cutting ceremony in the afternoon and this will be followed by cultural performances.The intensive practice of White Tara and Tsheringma will conclude with the Tsheringma Puja in the late evening.
Disciples and Dharma friends in South-East Asia and Europe will also be celebrating Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche's 80th birthday at their respective centres on different dates throughout 2011. This idea was mooted to enable everybody to join in this joyous and auspicious occasion.
