We are delighted that Drupon Khen Rinpoche, Karma Lhabu, will be giving two evenings of teachings at Kagyu Samye Dzong London before the The Khyabje Akong Tulku Memorial Retreat 2026 in Samye Ling. The topics of the teachings are to be confirmed; but the RSVP is now open to book.

About Drupon Khen Rinpoche Karma Lhabu

Drupon Khen Rinpoche Karma Lhabu has received teachings from the revered Khenpo Jigme Puntsok Rinpoche, from the Dzogchen guardian, Khenpo Munsel, the highly learned Khenpo Pentse, Adzom Drukpa Rinpoche, the Milarepa-like Khenpo Choying Kunkhyab, Khenchen Tsultrim Lodro, Khenchen Chime Rigzin, Khenchen Sherab Zangpo, to name a few.

Having received such a wealth of teachings Rinpoche then went to reside at Thrangu Vajra Vidya institute in Varanasi. Here he gave teachings on the treatises to the shedra students before Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche asked Drupon Rinpoche to become the retreat master for Thrangu Sekhar Retreat Center, a newly built retreat centre at a Milarepa pilgrimage site near Bhaktapur, Nepal, where Drupon Khen Rinpoche now spends most of his time training practitioners.

It currently supports a community of around 280 retreatants, young and old, from over 25 different countries. Rinpoche devised a six-year retreat programme especially for the international students. This consists of a year devoted to each of the following practices: the Great Seal preliminaries, mind training, Vajra Being (Vajrasattva), calm-abiding meditation, and two years on insight meditation.
