In 2015 Drupon Khen Rinpoche decided to travel for no more than three months each year and to spend most of his time in Thrangu Sekhar Retreat Center, Nepal. Drupon Rinpoche feels he is better able to serve the buddhadharma and sentient beings by dedicating most of his time to the development of a single group of full-time students, with the hope that they come to fully embody the teachings and maintain the lineage.

Drupon Rinpoche will give teachings daily on the Liberation Stories of the Kagyu Masters for two weeks. Date: June 1-14, 2020 Time: 09.15 – 10.45 UK GMT (14.00 Nepal time) If you would like to receive the teachings, please summit your email address and name to drupononline@gmail.com, and a link to join the teachings will be emailed to you shortly before the session starts. Drupon Rinpoche: “I am saddened not to be able to visit Samye Ling in person this year due to the restrictions that the pandemic has placed upon us. In general, I am not at all keen to give teachings over the internet; however, during this difficult time for all of us I would really like to do what I can to help. I have received requests to teach online from Samye Ling, its students and others, and this seems like the only avenue to share teachings in the current situation. Therefore, I will talk about the Liberation Stories of the Kagyu Masters from Gampopa’s collected works. I hope it will be helpful for people in some way.” |
