Thyanboche Monastery:

There are currently about monks resdng in the gompa under the leadership of the Thyanboch Rinpoche (Reincarnate Lama) The gompa is known for its masked dances performed during the festival of Mani Rimdu which occurs in the fall.
The beautiful monastery at Thyanboche is one of the largest and most important centers of Buddhist learning in the Khumbu region. At 3867m, (12761feet) above sea level, it naturally commands the awe which goes hand in hand with the life of the devoted. Although the main temple was destroyed in an electricity fire in 1989, now made new one.
Mani Rimdu Festival in Thyanboche:
The colorful and dramatic Mani Rimdu festival is performed in the monastery in Thyanboche in October and November. The final 3 days of this 17 days festival are the most important and include a spectacular series of masked dance performed by the monks. These are said to depict the battle between Buddhism and the ancient Bon religion. Gods and demons fight for the hearts and minds of the local community, the ultimate triumph being the resentment of Buddhism as the true and guiding light of the Sherpa people.
Although the Many Rimdu festival is exciting and entertaining to the local community, no one forgets that this is a religious ritual, one with ancient Tibetan roots and profound significance. Prayer is an integral part of Mani Rimdu as is sacrifice.
