October’s Anniversaries, Courses & Events
Greetings dear Friends of KSD Edinburgh,
As well as heralding the beauty of autumn, October is a particularly meaningful month for Samye Ling and Kagyu Samye Dzong Centres, both in Edinburgh and around the world. This year it marks the 10th Anniversary since the passing into PariNirvana of our most precious and beloved teacher and founder, Choje Akong Tulku Rinpoche.
We are most grateful that Drupon Rinpoche will join Lama Yeshe Losal Rinpoche, Lama Katen and the community of Samye Sangha, both national and international, to commemorate Choje Akong Rinpoche with a week of teachings and Dharma activities at Samye Ling. Please see details on the Samye Ling website. We are also greatly honoured to receive Drupon Rinpoche at KSD Edinburgh where he will give a teaching on the evening of Sunday October 15th. Places are limited so please book early if you wish to attend.
We look forward to seeing you for any or all of the following events but, to avoid disappointment, please remember to book for any sessions marked with “Book Your Place”.
May All Beings Be Happy
And Cultivate The Causes Of Happiness
