The harsh climatic conditions of Tibet have taken their toll on the construction housing the handicraft workshops and doctors living quarters. Sub zero temperatures, harsh winds and a scorching sun are just some of the elemental challenges that have added to the necessity to make a few repairs to the building that is already passing its second winter. During the repairs, the opportunity was also taken to clean and prepare the building for the ceremony.
- Views from the outside of the building.
- Views from inside the protective wall. Special features have ensured that the building is accessible to those with mobility difficulties.
- Luxury bathroom facilities, with running water, have created quite a stir amongst the people using the centre.
- Monks from the monastery and local people lending a helping hand to make sure the building is spick and span for the ceremony.
- New prayer flags and curtains hung to replace the old ones, created a feeling of festivity.
- Doctor Tsepun confers with the secretary of Tashi Lumpo Monastery to finalise the arrangements for the ceremony.
