    Nepal Bhutan pilgrimage 2010

    Pilgrimage to Bhutan and Nepal from August 6th to 30th, 2010

    >

    Drukpa Plouray, the European headquarters of the Drukpa lineage, is organising a pilgrimage to Bhutan and Nepal with the Venerable Drubpon Tenzin Ngawang, from August 6th to 30th this year.

    His Holiness Gyalwang Drukpa places great importance on pilgrimages as being a source of great merit and purification and has already initiated and led many pilgrimages, including two walking pilgrimages.

    The Drukpa lineage has been flourishing in Bhutan for several centuries and has been home to a great number of masters. It is indeed to privilege to visit Bhutan in the presence of Drubpon Ngawang, himself a Bhutanese, and to have access to the monasteries and sacred places, which are normally barred to tourists.

  • Visit of HH Gyalwang Drukpa to London Centre – January 2010

    reel1-1-00442114We were extremely honoured and delighted that the head of the Drukpa Lineage, His Holiness the Gyalwang Drukpa,  was recently able to pay an impromptu visit to the new Drukpa Kunga Peljor Centre in London. His Holiness spoke about the importance of a centre in the community and encouraged us to grow stronger and become more active.

    We were all very grateful to His Holiness for taking time out of his busy schedule to visit the London centre.
