MANI RIMDU FESTIVAL (Tengboche Monastery)
Mani Rimdu, main purpose of festival is prayers which worship pakpa Chentrezig, the god of compassion. His blessing brings peace and good fortune to everyone. During Mani rimdu we invoke phakpa Chenrezig's blessing on the rulbu, the long life pills and perform the dances which showing former times worships this deity

Mani Rimdu observe the tradition festival in Khumbu. For the opening ceremony of the Tnegboche,Zatul Ngawang Tenzin Norbu of Rongbuk came to consecrate the monastery and the monks performed the dances here for the first time then. Since that event, Mani Rimdu continues at the same time of year. It used to be in the tenth month, but that was very cold for spectators and because of bad weather & difficult for preparations

Each sect and monastery have their own style of dancing. The dances at Tengboche came from Rongbuk. Before the Chinese came, these particular dances were done at Rongbuk. and started at Tengboche , Later the lama at Chiwong gompa in Solu started Mani Rimdu there. Wher Thame became established as a celibate monastery they started performing Mani Rimdu there also. It is held in the ninth month at Tengboche, tenth month at Chiwong and fourth month at Thame. There is no other identical Mani Rindu anywhere else in Tibet.
