Introduction

• Tubd-Yinza Rinpoche was authenticated by Dalai Lama personnally since he was very young. But he lived a normal life for years and graduated from Sichuan University with a Public Administration degree, meanwhile, he also received a strict education in the temple since he was a child. Now finally he could be an official Rinpoche and serve his people!

One week before the ceremony, people are all busying with preparation, we totally put up 3 huge tents for guests.

It’s a hard work.

Beautiful tents

We prepared tibetan sofas and foods etc in the tents.

Now finished!

The kitchen is the busiest department, we employed 4 cooks and 10 servants.

For locals always have tibetan food at home, we prepared han food.

Cooks and servants came to work one day before the ceremony since they have to prepare foods for almost

1,000 people.

End

• Although quite young, Tubd-Yinza Rinpoche is a well-educated, far-sighted, ambitious person with a very warm heart. He is always nice to anyone and would like to help anyone. He now plan to develop the water, sanitation, education etc. projects to help his people. We are now applying a charity foundation in his name to do projects officially.
