Photos from this year's Easter retreat

The annual Easter Retreat went very well. We were full with 140 people and we all felt privileged to be there. We were doubly blessed with fabulous weather and great teachings. Ani Könchog took some great photos, which she has kindly agreed to share with us. See the photos here.

The UK Sangha of Tsoknyi Rinpoche III

The priceless treasures of Tibetan Buddhism are still being kept alive by the lineages of masters who offer them as blessings to the world. Tsoknyi Rinpoche embodies one of the most remarkable of these lineages. He is a profound and skilled teacher who has brought enormous benefit to those of us who have studied with him in the West. He is also the visionary leader of huge practice communities of nuns and monks in Tibet and Nepal.
