We are very fortunate that Khenpo Tashi will be visiting Kagyu Samye Dzong London to give teachings on Thursday 4th July, Friday 5th July and the weekend of 6th & 7th July. 

Khenpo Tashi is well trained in both the philosophy and the practice of Buddhism.

In 1981, Khenpo went to Karma Shri Nalanda Institute for higher Buddhist studies at Rumtek in Sikkim, India. After completing the ten-year course of Higher Buddhist studies, he was given the title of “Khenpo”. 

As Khenpo Tashi was skilled in both Buddhist philosophy and meditation, Ven Thrangu Rinpoche appointed him as the main Khenpo/Teacher for the two monastic colleges: Namo Buddha Institute at Namo Buddha, Nepal, where he taught for nine years; and Vajra Vidya Institute in Sarnath, Varanasi, India where he taught for four years.

In 2004, Khenpo entered the traditional three-year retreat at Thrangu Sekar Retreat Center in Bhaktapur, Nepal, remaining for an extra two years and eventually completing retreat in 2009.

Having completed the traditional retreat, Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche appointed Khenpo Tashi as a Teacher of Thrangu Monastery in Vancouver, Canada in 2010 where he lived for two years. Khenpo has also taught Buddhism to Westerners and in the past travelled to many countries with Thrangu Rinpoche. 

In early 2013, Rinpoche appointed him the Head Abbot of Vajra Vidya Institute in Sarnath, Varanasi, in India.

We are delighted at this opportunity to receive teachings from Khenpo Tashi in Kagyu Samye Dzong London, and will bring you more details about the teaching topics in due course.

Tickets for this teaching will be added closer to the date.
