DUDJOM TERSAR YESHE NYINGPO TEMPLE
Retreat's Buddha House

Eventually he found one, and on October 30th, the workers arrived with materials and tools to start removing the rug and install vinyl woods in each room. At the request of Rinpoche, they started with room number 1 and 2:
The work took two days, with the workers returning to polish and install the trimmings for the floor. The next day on November 2nd, volunteering sangha members started to install the bed frames and the closets to place into each room:
