As taught by His Holiness the Gyalwang Drukpa, the entire practice of Buddhism is to inspire the practitioners to open their hearts so that the blessing/understanding will be there without any obstacle or difficulty.  The focus of teachings and practices such as chanting, spiritual dances, spiritual yoga, recitations, pujas, etc. is to inspire us to achieve an understanding mind, which also known as the Mind or Heart of Enlightenment. 

We are happy to announce that His Eminence Kyabje Thuksey Rinpoche will be visiting London in January 2015.

The previous Thuksey Rinpoche was the first guru of His Holiness the Gyalwang Drukpa and we are especially delighted to welcome His Eminence now on the occasion of his first visit to the UK.

We are very fortunate to have His Holiness's nun Khenmo Tingdzin staying with us in London for a few months. During her stay His Holiness has requested her to teach us in detail on the various practices - mudras, visualisations, melodies etc

Please see calendar for dates

We are delighted to welcome five of His Holiness's nuns to our centre in September for a programme of teachings and practice. The nuns are accompanying His Holiness Gyalwang Drukpa on his European tour and have kindly agreed to give teachings and conduct pujas at our centre. The Venerable Drubpon Ngawang is also coming with the the nuns and will join us for the programme.

Sacred Geometry refers to the universal mathematical and symbolic patterns that are found naturally in nature, in the planets, within our own being, and reproduced within all religious arts. The action of drawing these patterns reconnects us with the primordial universal order, thus enabling a harmonious interdependence within one’s being and with the Universe. The action of colouring these patterns increases the joy and flow of creativity.

Dear Friends,

Everyone knows the Kingdom of Bhutan.  Being Bhutanese myself, it is my deep desire to share this jewel with members of the Sangha.

This is why I have decided to bring those who so desire on a trip with me there from April 19, 2014 to May 6, 2014.
