On the full-moon day of Saga Dawa, the 23rd of May, 2024, more than 200 practitioners from Europe gathered for the second consecutive year in Czech Republic to receive teachings and transmissions from Minling Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche.

We are delighted to announce the official establishment of the following Mindrolling Dharma Centers and Study Groups under the spiritual guidance of Minling Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche to support the Dharma studies and practices of the worldwide Mindrolling Sangha.

Minling Lotus Garden joyfully announces that His Eminence Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche will bestow the reading transmission and brief commentary of the Dzöd Dün (the Seven Treasuries of the Omniscient One, Longchen Rabjampa) at Minling Lotus Garden from August 15th to 21st, 2024.

On the 3rd day of the 1st lunar month of the Year of the Wood Dragon, marked the anniversary of the parinirvana of Kyabje Minling Trichen. The parinirvana day this year was an especially auspicious one because it marked the installation of the Draku of Kyabje Minling Trichen in the main shrine room.

A Losar message for the Year of the Wood Dragon from Minling Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche.

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.
