Under the guidance of H.E. Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche the Benchen monks in Kathmandu are preparing for the yearly Mahakala dances that are traditionally performed at the end of Tibetan Year. From February 8th till the New Year’s celebrations on February 18th the rituals will take place with the intention to destroy all the obstacles acumulated during the whole year and bring about peace and happiness in the new year to all the beings around the world.
