Since
Druk Gawa Khilwa Abbey was established, His Holiness’ wish has been to provide female practitioners with the same opportunities as their male counterparts, and to revive a spiritual lineage of Yoginis, unique to the Drukpa lineage. Under His Holiness’ guidance and with the constant support of our sponsors the nuns have become the backbone of the lineage.
Just how far these practitioners had developed became apparent in 2007 when His Holiness first allowed the senior nuns to train in the Six Yogas of Naropa, a spiritual practice which leads to enlightenment in one lifetime. Since that time the nuns have developed and become a genuine manifestation of compassion in action, relieving the sufferings of those they meet and sharing their spiritual accomplishments with their Drukpa family around the world.
Two of the nuns coming to London are “Lopöns” (Vajra masters), another is a “Khenpo” which means she is very learned, one is a “Chopön” (master of ceremony) and one is an “Oumze” (chanting master), specialising in the practice of Tcheu Sengey Tsewa.
We are indeed honoured to welcome such accomplished nuns to our centre and we urge you all to attend this programme if you can.
*** PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS NO ADVANCE BOOKING FOR THIS PROGRAMME ***
