About us

Inspired by the accumulated wisdom of the 800-year old Drukpa lineage Drukpa UK sets out to bring benefit to beings in the modern world. We support both Buddhist non-Buddhists alike in their quest to bring happiness, contentment and peace to all beings by activating their love and compassion.

    Education
    Health
