In October we all loaded up into the 2 monastery trucks
to go for a picnic. Lots of badminton, soccer and cricket-
it was a great day.

Our Departure
On the morning that we left all the monks gathered
in the shrine room to say goodbye and offer katas.
Karma Phurbu gave a very heartfelt speech and then
several of the 'medical monks' got up to say a few
words of thanks as well. It was a very touching goodbye.
