Khandro Tsering Chodron’s 15th Anniversary
Monday 11 May is the actual anniversary of Khandro Tsering Chödrön’s parinirvana and Tuesday 12 May Dakini Day.
This year we will be commemorating Khandro-la's anniversary with the first Rigpa drupchen in Lerab Ling itself. Since the drupchen is onsite only, there will exceptionally not be any online streaming of practices for Khandro's anniversary.
We invite you therefore to gather together in centres and practice together for this occasion, ✨✨✨🌷💐🌷💐🌷💐🌷💐🌷💐🌷💐🌷💐🌷💐🌷💐🌷💐✨✨✨ and let yourself inspire by the manifold materials available on Prajna, commemorating her extraordinary life:

But you are also warmly invited to join the Chime Pakme Nyingtik English drupchen in Lerab Ling 8-17 May 2026
Thanks to Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche the drupchen team includes senior Khenpo Sonam Tashi and two other Lopons from Dewathang, Bhutan. We are delighted that they will join Lerab Ling’s resident ritual expert Karma Cheda and our own experienced Practice Holders to hold this English drupchen using the Chokling melodies.
If you have a Chime Pakme Nyingtik empowerment and want to spend some quality time with Arya Tara you are most welcome to join us! More info and how to register are on the Lerab Ling events page:
https://lerabling.org/en/event/droupchen-chime-pakme-nyingtik/
Or, if you cannot join in person, you can always join in the merit of Rigpa's first Chime Pakme Nyingtik drupchen by making a donation online, so that Lerab Ling can make a really abundant offering on your behalf in the place that Khandro Tsering Chödrön, in the final years of her life, called home.
