Akong Rinpoche Anniversary Retreat
2:30pm 08 October 2024 - 12:00pm 15 October 2024
Cost: £0.00
Venue: Samye Ling
This year on 8th October it is eleven years since Choje Akong Tulku Rinpoche passed away. Engaging in this week-long practice and study retreat is good for us and potentially good for others too, and it's a meaningful and auspicious way to commemorate Akong Rinpoche.
Drupon Khen Rinpoche will lead the retreat which will entail a mix of daily meditation sessions and teaching sessions.
This year the subject of the teaching will be "The Elements of the Path to Achieve Enlightenment”, a text by the First Gyalwang Karmapa, Dusum Khyenpa. Copies of the text will be available for participants.
The Retreat will begin at 2.30pm on 8th October and finish at lunchtime on 15th October.
All participants must register and must undertake to attend all sessions.
To register and book accommodation please email bookings@samyeling.org.
There is no fee for this retreat, though donations may be made in the Reception Office.
