2023

May the New Year be an opportunity for all practitioners to take on a fresh outlook for the coming year and to deepen one’s reflection on all of the wonderful inherent qualities that are present in one’s own self.

In October 2023, the sangha of Vajrayana practitioners joyfully gathered at Minling Lotus Garden to receive teachings and transmissions from Minling Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche. With great kindness, Minling Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche bestowed teachings and transmissions to monks, nuns, and lay practitioners from many countries around the world.

The worldwide Mindrolling International sangha joyfully marked the occasion of Minling Jetsun Khandro Rinpoche’s birthday with prayers, offerings, and a vast Tshe Tar, or life-release, dedicated to Rinpoche’s long life and vast activities.

Minling Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche will bestow teachings and transmissions and guide the sangha in this practice retreat from October 29th to December 9th, 2023. The 2023 Vajrayana Retreat is open to students who attended last year’s retreat and new students may request to join.  Registration is now open.

During the first week of August, 2023, His Eminence Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche kindly returned to Minling Lotus Garden to bestow teachings on the precious text “The Sword of Wisdom” by the great Jamgön Mipham Rinpoche.

On July 28th, 2023, the Mindrolling International sangha joyfully celebrated the birthday of Dungse Rinpoche. Mindrolling sanghas around the world offered prayers and good wishes for the continued presence and long lives of Dungse Rinpoche and his elder sister, Jetsün Rinpoche, on this auspicious day.

Students from around the world gathered in the Czech Republic for the first Vajra Assembly to receive teachings and transmissions from Minling Jetsun Khandro Rinpoche. The first Vajra Assembly was followed by the 3rd Mahasangha Drubchö and events celebrating the gathering of the Mindrolling International Sangha.

Minling Lotus Garden is very happy to announce the first in-person program of Summer 2023. His Eminence Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche will bestow teachings on the precious text “The Sword of Wisdom” by the great Jamgön Mipham Rinpoche from August 1st to August 7th, 2023. 

Minling Lotus Garden is happy to announce the upcoming schedule of teachings and retreats for 2023. The sangha is incredibly blessed to have many wonderful teachings and retreats in the coming months to ensure a strong and in-depth continuity of teachings, study, and practice.

As we joyfully celebrate the New Year, sangha members are encouraged to persevere even more through this coming year to bring accomplishment of the Dharma practices and to gain deeper insight and understanding of the true meaning of Dharma.
