His Holiness the 34th Menri Trizin Teaching Tour Coming This Summer
Ligmincha Centers in Europe and U.S. Included in Three-Month Tour
His Holiness the 34th Menri Trizin, Lungtok Dawa Dargyal Rinpoche, will be visiting the West for the first time since his enthronement during a three-month teaching tour that begins early this summer.
The tour, organized by Ligmincha International, will begin with His Holiness’s visit to London, where he will teach at the Tibetan Yungdrung Bön Study Centre on June 2. He will teach at Ligmincha’s Chamma Ling Poland in Wilga June 5–9, 2019 on “The Long Life Practice of Tsewang Rigdzin.” From there, he will teach at Ligmincha Berlin June 11–12, followed by Shenten Dargye Ling in Blou, France from June 14–16. Contact the individual centers for more information.
On his North American tour, His Holiness will join Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche in Virginia at Serenity Ridge Retreat Center, headquarters of Ligmincha International, June 23–July 7, 2019. They will teach on the topic of “Tummo: Inner Fire of Realization.” Teachings on the Three Great Mantras will be included. For the last two days of the retreat (July 6–7), His Holiness will give teachings and empowerment on "The Knowledge and Wisdom of Longevity: Teachings from the Tsewang Jarima." You are welcome to attend one or both weeks of the retreat, but if you can only attend one week, the first week is preferable in terms of the teachings.
The tour also will take His Holiness to Mexico, where he will teach in Mexico City July 9 and at Valle de Bravo July 11–14. He also will teach at five other Tibetan Bön Buddhist centers in the United States and Canada: Sherab Chamma Ling in British Columbia, Gyalshen Institute in California, Yeru Bon Center in Minnesota, Olmo Ling in Pennsylvania and Bon Shen Ling in New York.

His Holiness was selected as the 34th Menri Trizin, the spiritual leader of the Bön tradition and abbot of Menri Monastery in Dolanji, India, on January 1, 2018, following the death of the 33rd Menri Trizin, His Holiness Lungtok Tenpai Nyima Rinpoche, the previous September. In February 2018, Bönpos worldwide joined in celebrating the selection of the 34th Menri Trizin at Menri Monastery. On September 6, 2018, a formal grand enthronement ceremony took place at Menri.
In recognition of his enthronement and as a way to deepen connection with His Holiness, Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche extended the invitation for His Holiness to teach at Ligmincha centers in Poland, Mexico and the United States. This is His Holiness’s first trip to the West after his enthronement and the largest tour that has ever been organized for a Menri Trizin.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to receive teachings from the head of the Bön tradition! All teachings will be translated into the language of the country in which the teachings are held. Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche urges Ligmincha sangha members to make a heartfelt connection to His Holiness.
