Temple ConsecratiThe nuns also performed a very funny play where theywere trying to get the attention of a nun who had gone intoSamadhi. Everybody laughed a lot.The Rinpoches said that we looked like we had beendoing this dance for a long time but we had just learned itand this was our first time doing it in public.(see report on Trip to Nepal on page 8)After thinking a lot, I decided to learn theDakini dance. Many nuns volunteered butonly 13 were chosen. First I worried, then Ithought I will offer this dance to my guru.Very calm I was very happy to my lamas andeveryone. This was my first time to show theDakini Dance. I am so grateful to offer theDakini dance to my Root Guru, Jetsunmaand all the people who came to see. I was sohappy of that.Samten ChodronThen there was a short play by the nuns relating tothe Buddha’s life and his Step Mother, Mahaprajapati, thefirst ordained nun of the sangha. It was quite a movingperformance.6 GATSAL Tenzin Lhakpa Dolma Keither
on & CelebrationsThis was followed by a scene about the Buddha. TheRinpoches and everybody stood when the Buddha walkedin. It was very special. Our Gen la, Tsultrim Zangmo, whoguided us with these plays made a special hat of black beadsfor the Buddha’s hair. She asked many tailors, they could nothelp. So she made one herself, it took her a long time to do.Then there was an exciting philosophical debate. Ourdebate teacher is Gen Ngawang Losal from KhampagarMonasteryFinally the function came to an end and all the visitorswere invited for tea on the other side of the temple. Theywere all given packets of Tsog (blessed food offerings) forthem.All people enjoyed and it was very auspicious day. Allnuns did very well and all peoples were very happy. All kindof programs which we made went very well. It was kind ofour Genlas who helped us in every way.After our program finish on the third day we have thespecial Puja of Guru Padmasambhava in our new Templefor all sentient beings. On that day it was only our nunsattending and after the puja we got blessing from Jetsunmaand we have our photo taken with Jetsunma.I played the role of the Buddha. I was happyto act as the Buddha. I was feeling so good.I felt as if the Buddha himself was helpingme to behave and speak the way I did onthat day.Sherab TsomoI was scared at the beginning of the Buddhaplay but after some time I was fine. WhenI was saying the food prayer I did not evennotice anything around me. I was feelingvery light calm and happy. I was thinkingonly of the Buddha and even after the playwas over I stayed in that very light feeling ofbeing with the Buddha. I wanted to stay likethat all the time.Tsewang ChodronGATSAL 7
