The prayers will be particularly dedicated to Choje Akong Tulku Rinpoche, who established Samye Ling and guided it from humble beginnings to the large thriving Dharma centre it is today. Over the years countless thousands of people have benefitted from Samye Ling and without Akong Rinpoche that wouldn’t have been possible. So everyone who feels a connection to Samye Ling is welcome to come to join in these meaningful and powerful prayers – and help to overcome any obstacles for the future.
The Guru Rinpoche sadhana is available in English phonetics, so anyone who has taken Refuge and received the authorisation (lung) can participate fully. Even if you can’t read the text, please come and meditate or recite mantras.
Following the Drupcho on Sunday 26th August will be the annual tea party and open day.
