Programs (16th to 21st February 2008)
The 6-day programs will include not only traditional birthday celebrations for His Holiness the Twelfth Gyalwang Drukpa, spiritual head of the Drukpa Lineage, but also an important event for the lineage - the official recognition of female's efforts on the spiritual path, i.e. the promotion of Tenzin Palmo. See programs.
