Dharamshala: The main monastery of Tibet’s oldest spiritual tradition, Bon, will tomorrow present a grand long-life offering (Tenshug) to His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
His Holiness in turn will inaugurate the newly-built library of the Menri Ling Bonpo Monastery at Dholanji, some 12 kms away from Solan.
Earlier this morning, His Holiness was received at the city’s circuit house by a battery of eminent Indians, including speaker of the state legislative assembly, deputy commissioner, district magistrate and various other officials.
