Rinpoche in the Netherlands
Lama Tenzin Samphel Rinpoche visits the Netherlands annually to give teachings, empowerments, oral transmissions and practice guidance, and to meet with students.
Padma Pura Foundation supports the organisation of these annual visits and the Dharma activities that take place during them. Confirmed dates and practical information are published in Upcoming.
Tsog practice
Tsog is a Vajrayana group practice in which practitioners come together for practice and offerings.
Padma Pura Foundation usually organises Tsog practice online via Microsoft Teams, around Guru Rinpoche Day and Dakini Day when circumstances allow.
If you would like to take part, please email info@padmapura.com. We will add you to the Tsog mailing list, through which invitations and practical information for upcoming Tsog practices are shared.
Tsetar
Tsetar is a meritorious practice of compassion in which the lives of animals that would otherwise be killed are spared. According to the traditional teachings, this creates positive karmic conditions that may, among other things, support long life and can also be dedicated to others.
Padma Pura Foundation supports Tsetar activities under Rinpoche’s guidance. Because these activities require careful preparation, information is shared only when and where appropriate.
Gutor
Gutor is a Vajrayana practice traditionally held before Losar, the Tibetan New Year. It is a practice of purification and the clearing of obstacles, helping create auspicious conditions for the year ahead.
