Jampa Kalsang at Tibetan Shechen Tennyi Dargyeling Monastery in Kathmandu, Nepal

Jampa Kalsang is an old monk from Shegar Monastery in Tibet who I Interviewed in "new Shegar" monastery in Kathmandu.

I wrote about it in Swedish here: manniskohjalp.blogspot.se/2011/01/jampa-kalsang.html

Shechen Tennyi Dargyeling Monastery is a Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Kathmandu, Nepal. The original Tibetan monastery was destroyed during the Chinese occupation, but Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche was determined to give it a new home in Nepal, and began a 10 year building process in the 80s, resulting in a monastery that represents Tibetan art at its finest. The present abbot is the seventh Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche, the grandson and spiritual heir of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, and 400 monks study and live at the monastery.

Shechen monks are educated in Buddhist philosophy, as well as music, dance and painting. The Shechen Institute for Higher Buddhist Studies, a nine-year philosophical college host to over 100 students, is also located at the monastery. There is also a retreat center, called Drupde Pema Odseling, where monks participate in the traditional three-year retreat.

Ceremonies are held throughout the year at the monastery, including drupchens which last for nine days and an annual two-day sacred dance festival, all presided over by Khyentse Yangsi Rinpoche, the reincarnation of Dilgo Khyentse. The original Tibetan monastery was famous for its particular style of sacred dance, which has been carried on by Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche.
