Guru Rinpoche Drubcho
Tuesday 18th March - Monday 24th March
We are happy to announce the first Guru Rinpoche Drubcho in Kagyu Samye
Dzong London. On this auspicious occasion we are honoured to have Choje
Akong Tulku Rinpoche attending the last three days of the practice. On
the final day he will also give a Guru Rinpoche Long Life Blessing and
Empowerment.
The Guru Rinpoche Drubcho is a practice that dispels obstacles of all
kinds and is a special opportunity to pray for peace in the world Last
year Rinpoche recommended that we hold the Drubcho to provide a blessing
for the future growth and wellbeing of Kagyu Samye Dzong London,
especially in order to help establish a permanent site.
It is said that participating in some way brings a tremendous amount of
merit and benefit, so we hope that everyone can be part of this special
event. You can do this by attending the Drubcho, by volunteering to help
out, by giving food for the Tsok offerings and by making a donation.
