Lama Zopa Rinpoche, Kopan Monastery, Nepal, November 2015. Photo by Ven. Roger Kunsang.
On November 25, Ven. Roger Kunsang shared on Twitter this photo of Lama Zopa Rinpoche at Kopan Monastery “checking some of the collection of relics destined for the heart of the Maitreya statues in India.”
The statues are part of the two Maitreya Projects in Bodhgaya and Kushinagar, India.
Rinpoche has advised that all touring collections of relics that were once part of the 15-year-old Maitreya Loving Kindness Tour should be placed on permanent display for the benefit of pilgrims while the statues are under construction.
While at Kopan Monastery, Rinpoche will give teachings during the annual Kopan November course.
