Ringu Tulku Rinpoche
Weekend Retreat
We’re very happy to announce that Ringu Tulku Rinpoche will come to Dzogchen Beara in July for a weekend of teachings. Rinpoche has been coming here for over 35 years and is greatly loved for his wisdom, his humour and teaching through storytelling. He is a true spiritual friend to our community at Dzogchen Beara.
More details about the teaching will be announced soon.
Dāna (Generosity)
As we celebrate Rinpoche’s return to teach us again, we are also keenly aware of the difficult times we are all facing. It is our heart wish that as many people can attend this teaching as possible and that finance is not an obstacle. With that in mind there is a low fee of €120 for this weekend retreat, which includes your lunch and evening meals.
However, if you are in a position to offer more, a weekend retreat like this would cost €310/€260 conc. Dzogchen Beara is a not for profit registered charity and the income from our programme goes directly into supporting the dharma, our tradition and all who benefit from the centre.
Upon registration there will be an opportunity to donate, so please give what you can. Thank you.
Location
The event will be held in our newly opened Temple, which is a modern example of a traditional Tibetan monastery designed to be an inspiring symbol of the Buddha’s teachings for our times.
