Since the foundation of Benchen Phuntsok Darjeling monastery in Kathmandu in 1984/85 Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche used to invite the nuns from the Panshing monastery (Gelugpa lineage) once a year to perform a Tara ritual. The nuns also came regularly to pay respect to Drubwang Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche and Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche on different occasions, like Losar etc.

Today, on this auspicious Dakini day, the nuns from Panshing monastery visited Benchen Phuntsok Darjeling again performing White Tara and Naljorma rituals for the long life of Drubwang Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche and swift rebirth of Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche respectively. It was a joyous and powerful event clearing away the obstacles and bringing the benefit to all the beings.
