TOPIC BUDDHA CHENREZIG
Love, Compassion and Wisdom in Everyday Life
12. September 2026 – 17. September 2026
We warmly invite you to join us for meditation and teachings with Lama Jigme Rinpoche and other Dhagpo teachers. There will be an empowerment to the 2nd Karmapa, Karma Pakshi, a prominent meditation master of the Karma Kagyu tradition, as well as to White Tara, who grants long life and offers protection from fears and dangers. We are also looking forward to a book reading with Lama Jigme Rinpoche.
Lama Jigme Rinpoche is an author and a prominent teacher of the Karma Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism, as well as a representative of the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa Thaye Dorje in Europe. He plays a vital role in bringing Tibetan Buddhism to the West and establishing it there. He gives Buddhist teachings and empowerments worldwide.
