235 / Shechen monastery




The beautiful Shechen monastery is also at Boudhanath,
& has unfortunately been damaged in the earthquakes,
but is nevertheless housing some 2000 people 
affected by the quakes






as you may know, the great 
Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche was associated with 
the monastery






I like to stay at their guesthouse nearby, as any profit
goes to support the monastery,
as well as a medical centre






& theres a very pleasant garden






the monastery building itself is a work of art
