http://www.konchok.org Surmang shedra tour. http://www.youtube.com/user/KonchokFoundation#p/u/1/GTwkXRCXfTY A brief tour of the new shedra (school) at Surmang Dutsi Til monastery in eastern Tibet, the home monastery of the Trungpa Rinpoches. Filmed in September 2010. The shedra was initiated by the monastery leadership in collaboration with Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche and the Shambhala sangha, and the Konchok Foundation. This tour was filmed by by Jon Ransohoff and edited by Lyndon Comstock. As you can see, the interior still needs to be painted and other finishing touches are needed as well, such as furniture and light fixtures. Please consider contributing towards the completion of the shedra. A campaign to raise $150,000 to finish the shedra is now being launched. Please visit DONATE TO SHEDRA if you are able to make a donation. http://konchok.shambhala.org/donate-form.php Video Recording: Jon Ransohoff Editor: Lyndon Comstock Translator: Gerry Wiener Chanting the dedication of merit: Surmang Khenpo Copyright 2010 Konchok Foundation Konchok Foundation www.konchok.org.
