Dharma Study and Practice in Kagyu Samye Ling
/about/dharma-study-and-practice-in-kagyu-samye-ling/Rinpoche’s long term vision and commitment has led him to accept the request of members of Samye Dzong Lubumbashi in DRC in Africa to train five of their children. Despite huge logistical challenges the children began their Dharma education in Sekar in 2018 and we hear they are doing extremely well in their studies – already able to converse in Tibetan and starting to memorise major Dharma texts.We also have a small group of dedicated practitioners in our Women’s retreat on Holy Isle, where there is an ongoing series of consecutive one year retreats. Once again we are indebted to Drupon Rinpoche’s kindness as all the teachings he gives in Sekar are transmitted to each of these retreats so the retreaters in Scotland can participate in daily teaching sessions as well as their own practice sessions.If you are interested in finding out more about these study and practice opportunities contact us at scotland@samyeling.org.
