Actually I arrived there some days later than the rest of the group. When the Taxi driver drove me there from Jekundo I started to argue with him that this is not Benchen as I only knew the old pics of the place and it wasnt above my imagination that they built up such a huge new monastery. Anyway here are some pics by our Polish Dharmafriend Lama Rinchen from that trip you might enjoy: http://www.benchen.org.pl/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=6261&g2_page=1 best Tashi Dear Alex,
