What a Wonderful Wednesday Evening! 🙏

On Wednesday, September 30, we enjoyed a wonderful evening with Venerable Drupon Khen Rinpoche Lodrö Namgyal, receiving precious teachings on Guru Devotion and Guru Yoga. Though the teaching was brief, it was filled with profound meaning and inspiration. So much to reflect on! 🙏

Join Us for the Final Weekend!
📅 October 3–4, 2026

As mentioned in our newsletter, this coming weekend will be our final opportunity to receive teachings from Drupon Khen Rinpoche during his North American visit.

Rinpoche will give pointing-out instructions on The Kusali’s Instructions on the True Nature of Mind by Jamgön Kongtrül Lodrö Thayé, followed by a guided meditation.

At the conclusion of the session, we will make mandala, body, speech, and mind offerings as an expression of our gratitude and appreciation. We will also make aspirations for Rinpoche’s long life and request his continued presence and guidance for the benefit of all beings.

Everyone is warmly welcome to join us for this precious opportunity to study, meditate, and practice together. 🙏

What a wonderful weekend

After a long wait of more than a decade, Venerable Drupon Khen Rinpoche Lodrö Namgyal finally made it to Rigpe Dorje Centre in Montréal, Canada. What a wonderful first weekend, filled with precious teachings, meditation, and meaningful time together. 🙏

We can’t wait for the next two weekends:
September 26–27 and October 3–4.

Here is the registration link: https://rigpedorjemontreal.org/en/khenpo-lodro-namgyal-negi/

May the blessings of the Dharma continue to benefit all sentient beings. 🙏

Everyone is warmly welcome. We can’t wait to see you all! 🙏

What wonderful news!

We have waited for more than a decade, and now that the wait is finally over, I warmly welcome everyone to Drupon Khen Rinpoche Lodrö Namgyal’s teachings and guided meditation sessions over three special weekends.

Drupon Khenpo Lodrö Namgyal is a truly wonderful master. In these times, it is increasingly rare to encounter a teacher who shares the Dharma not only through knowledge and study, but also through deep personal experience and realization. This makes his teachings a particularly precious opportunity for all of us.

May these three weekends be a wonderful, meaningful, and precious opportunity for everyone to receive the Dharma, deepen our understanding, and practice together.

Please don’t miss this rare opportunity. Mark your calendar and join us!

A call for compassion and support for Nepal

We have all been touched by the news of the catastrophic torrent of floods and mudslides that have ripped through several communities along the Tibet-Nepal border, following the collapse of a glacier.

Our hearts go out to the victims and their families, to the hundreds still missing, and to the dedicated rescue crews.

Entire villages have been destroyed, and communities have been cut off after roads and bridges were wiped out or made impassable.

The global community is providing assistance.

Let’s come together to send our support. The Rigpe Dorje Foundation and the Rigpe Dorje Centre are collecting donations, which will be remitted to the Government of Nepal Prime Minister Disaster Relief Fund. This fund provides emergency rescue, search, and relief for communities affected by the August 2026 flash floods along the Bhote Koshi River in Rasuwa and surrounding districts.

To donate, please click on the following link. Make sure to specify that the money is for the Nepal Disaster Fund: https://rigpedorjemontreal.org/en/dons-fondation/

Donations are tax deductible.

Every contribution, no matter how small, can make a significant difference.

Your kindness, compassion, and generosity can help families rebuild their lives during this very difficult time.

Thank you for standing with the people of Nepal.

Un appel à la solidarité et au soutien pour le Népal.

Nous avons tous été bouleversés par la nouvelle des inondations et des glissements de terrain catastrophiques qui ont ravagé plusieurs communautés le long de la frontière entre le Tibet et le Népal à la suite de l’effondrement d’un glacier.

Nos pensées vont aux victimes et à leurs familles, aux centaines de personnes toujours portées disparues, ainsi qu’aux équipes de secours qui se dévouent sans relâche.

Des villages entiers ont été détruits, et des communautés se retrouvent isolées après que les routes et les ponts ont été emportés ou rendus impraticables.

La communauté internationale apporte son aide.

Unissons-nous pour leur témoigner notre soutien ! La Fondation Rigpé Dorjé et le Centre Rigpé Dorjé recueille des dons, que nous transmettrons au Government of Nepal Prime Minister Disaster Relief Fund. Ce fonds sert à financer les opérations d’urgence de sauvetage, de recherche et de secours pour les communautés touchées par les inondations soudaines d’août 2026 le long de la rivière Bhote Koshi, dans le district de Rasuwa et les districts voisins.

Pour effectuer un don, veuillez cliquer sur le lien ci-dessous. N’oubliez pas de préciser qu’il est destiné au fonds d’aide pour le Népal :
https://rigpedorjemontreal.org/dons-fondation/

Les dons sont déductibles de vos impôts.

Chaque contribution, aussi modeste soit-elle, peut faire une différence significative.

Votre bienveillance, votre compassion et votre générosité peuvent aider les familles à reconstruire leur vie en cette période très difficile.

Merci de vous tenir aux côtés du peuple népalais.
