The complete Yungdrung Bön Kangyur has arrived in Russia!

Good news! The complete Yungdrung Bön Kangyur has arrived in Russia! This is no small achievement. The Yungdrung Bön (Eternal Teaching) Research Centre of Tibetan Religion and Culture in Russia «Исследовательский центр Юнгдрунг Бон (Вечное учение)» asked FPYB for help in obtaining a set of the Yungdrung Bön Kangyur in Uchen in western book-style deb-form rather than the traditional Tibetan pecha.

Triten Norbutse Building Project: New Temple Complex

While in Kathmandu last month, Carol and Dmitry met with Pönlob Tsangpa Tenzin who kindly gave us a tour of the new temple.
