Kunzang Tuktig Retreat
Sun Dec 20, 2026 at 04:00 PM to Sat Jan 02, 2027 at 04:00 PM
Timezone : Europe/Paris
Rangjung Yéshé Gomdé Pyrénées, La Bastide, France
Gomde Pyrenees is delighted to announce that Drupon Lama Tenzin has kindly agreed to the request from a group of Kunzang Tuktig practitioners to lead us in a retreat in winter 2026/27.
Drupon Lama Tenzin has indicated that this will be a sadhana practice retreat, and it will be for practitioners who have already received the empowerment.
Gomde Pyrenees is a wonderful place for practicing Kunzang Tuktig. It was the main practice of the 1st three-year retreat group, and it will also be the main practice for the second group, which has just begun their pre-retreat. Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche has appointed Drupon Lama Tenzin as their retreat master. We are extremely fortunate to have him guide us.
