Drupon Samten Rinpoche Commemoration 2026

Dear friends,

On June 21st, 2026, we will gather together, in-person and online, to remember our precious teacher, the late Drupon Samten Rinpoche. It is now 4 years since Rinpoche’s passing June 16, 2022.

Here are a few photos for our memory. We are so fortunate to have the blessings from this great meditation master. Below is also a beautiful poem about Drupon Samten Rinpoche, written by Drupon Gompo Dorje.
