Extraordinary Maintenance of the Mongolian Yurt
The Mongolian Yurt was gifted to Lama Gangchen Tulku Rinpoche in 2016, fulfilling a special wish and symbolising the deep connection he has always had with the Buddhist traditions of Mongolia. Its walls and ceiling are adorned with traditional sacred prints depicting the mandalas of the five emanations of Dorje Shugden. The yurt is thoughtfully positioned to face Gangchen Labrang, offering protection to both the sacred space and our resident masters. It has served as a place where Lama Gangchen Rinpoche delivered teachings, welcomed visitors, and where our sangha members practise Kadrin and Chöd. Blessed by His Holiness Trijang Chötrul Rinpoche, the yurt has hosted several Rabne Chenmo ceremonies and is classed as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity by UNESCO since 2016.
The project at hand involves acquiring a new protective cover to shield the yurt from any weather-related damage, together with replacing the current wooden dome with a more durable one. The purchase will be made through a specialised supplier in Switzerland, and the funds are to cover the cost of the materials, transportation from Switzerland, and customs fees.
