We have received the wonderful news that Khenpo Damcho Dawa Rinpoche may be able to visit Samye Ling in September this year.

Khenpo Rinpoche has visited us several times in the past and made a huge impact with his easy compassionate nature and the clarity and depth of his teachings, so we feel extremely fortunate that he is taking time away from his many other responsibilities to visit us again.

We are in the process of applying for a visa for his travel and if this is successful, Khenpo will be able to come to the UK to teach in Samye Ling and other Samye Dzong centres.

In Samye Ling he will give a short course on Compassion and the Chenrezig practice from 10th to 13th September 2015 - but this is still to be confirmed so please don’t make a booking yet.  We will let you know as soon as the visit has been confirmed.

The Buddhist principle is to be everybody's friend, not to have any enemy.
