Dorji Lopen of the Central Monastic Body presided over religious rituals in Canberra, Australia recently. Over 600 Bhutanese attended the ceremony.
Dorji Lopen is on a 17-day tour, upon the request of Bhutanese studying and living in Australia.
Meanwhile, Australia-Bhutan Association of Canberra has put up a proposal, through Dorji Lopen to the Central Monastic Body, to construct a Buddhist Temple in Canberra.
