Retreat's Vajra House

The Vajra House is the residence of the family, visiting guests as well as the Kudung of Shenpen Dawa Rinpoche and Semo Lhanzey la. It is also where the office of our Yeshe Melong Publication used to be. Since Dungsey Namgay Rinpoche decided to move Yeshe Melong Publication to digital format, all the files and devices were removed to turn the room into a kitchen.

The next day, Jake returned to place sheet rock on the wall of the room:

On the 4th, 11th and 22nd of December, Jake returned to put glue and plasters on the wall:
