"He is one of the most special gurus in the Drikung Kagyu lineage."
- H.E. Garchen Rinpoche

His Eminence the 12th Nubpa Rinpoche was recognized while still in the womb.

Curently the abbot of Nepal Drikung Kagyu Rinchen Ling monastery, whenever possible Rinpoche walks for over a week to retreat at one of the holiest sites on earth- Lapchi mountain. His Eminence is among the few great practitioners today who is both learned in Buddhist scholarship and accomplished in retreat practice.
.Please join us for this very special time with Nubpa Rinpoche, a great spiritual master, who has more than 10 years of retreat experience on Lapchi Snow Mountain, a holy region on the Nepal / Tibet border where the great saint Milarepa practiced. Read full bio...

Saturday, May 28th
10 am - Noon: Milarepa Empowerment
2pm - 5pm: Milarepa Transmission & Guru Yoga Teachings
Milarepa is Tibet's most beloved saint. During the first part of his life he was an ordinary human being, complete with afflictions and faults, who transformed into a spiritual master tirelessly working for the benefit of all. Milareapa is a true example of the power of the Dharma to produce enlightenment in one lifetime. To receive a Milarepa empowerment, transmission, and teachings from Nubpa Rinpoche is very special. Nubpa Rinpoche has done extensive retreat in the very caves that Milarepa used to gain realization.

10 am - Noon: Hayagriva Empowerment
Surrounded by the flames of pristine awareness and equiped with a sword to cut through delusion and obstacles, Hayagriva, wrathful emanation of Chenrezig, is a conqurer of all evil- aiding spiritual development by supplying the fierce energy needed to overcome internal obstacles and subdue outer hindrances for world peace and for personal harmony.
