January 2-3, New York: Upon the request of our precious Guru Ratnashri, H.E. Ratna Vajra Rinpoche bestowed the Sri Hevajra Cause wang on many of our Sangha members and also those from outside the Sangha on Jan 2-3, 2009 in Walden, New York. There were total of 21 byomakusuma sangha members. and there were probably about 20 additional outside the Sangha people who also received the Wang. Rinpoche was very meticulous throughout and spent time explaining the various aspects of the Wang. Jan 2 was the preparatory session lasting about 2.5 hours. On Jan 3 we started around 2:30pm and ended around 8:30pm. The Sangha offered the Mandala, both on Jan 2 (at the start) and on Jan 3 (at the end of the Wang...our Sanskrit version was used). Many non-Sangha members were pleased and thanked our Sangha for requesting the Wang (as they also benefited!). Senior Sakya lamas from Boston and New York also participated.see pictures
