On the afternoon of June 14, 2026, Guru Vajradhara His Holiness Chamgon Kenting Tai Situpa visited Bo Gangkar Monastery in Nepal, where he was welcomed with an elaborate traditional golden procession by Kyabje Drubwang Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche and Bo Gangkar Rinpoche, together with the monastery's khenpos, lamas, and monastic assembly, as well as the devoted monastic and lay followers who had gathered from near and far. A mandala and the three sacred representations were offered to Guru Vajradhara, followed by traditional ceremonial tea and sweet rice, after which he bestowed blessings upon the assembled gathering, before retiring to his quarters on the upper floor to rest.

On the following day, before Guru Vajradhara, his spiritual son Bo Gangkar Rinpoche, and the assembled retinue, skilled young performers — both male and female — from among the resident and visiting monastic and lay community presented songs and dances showcasing the distinctive qualities of both ancient and contemporary traditions.

The next day, Guru Vajradhara granted a special Dharma teaching and audience to the monastery's leadership and monastic assembly.

On the morning of June 17, before departing from Gangkar Monastery, Guru Vajradhara performed a consecration and bestowal of blessings upon the outer structures and inner sacred supports of the Vajravarahi Temple and other shrines.
