Padmasambhava Day Festival
Sunday 21 September 10am – 4pm
A special day in the Buddhist calendar—celebrating Guru Rinpoche, the great spiritual master who brought Buddhism to Tibet.
Enter the realm of Padmasambhava, the archetypal guru—an enigmatic and inspiring figure of the Buddhist Vajrayana tradition.
It is said that Padmasambhava hid his teachings as ‘termas’, or treasures for future generations to discover.
Together we will explore the rich symbolism of Padmasambhava with the wish to uncover his dharma treasure.
Join us for meditation, reflection, shared lunch, ritual and more. Led by Shantidevi and team.
