Dear dharma friends in Europe,

yesterday we received an urgent message. It was announced that the Facebook page of H.H. Drikung Kyabgön Chetsang has been hacked by some unknown person and started chatting and asking for donation from people. His Holiness and the office of H.H. the Drikung Kyabgon will never ask for such donation through Facebook. If fund is needed, fundraising project of Holiness will always be announced properly through authorised channels publicly. Please ignore all such social media or private messages soliciting donations through this Facebook.

  • On Saturday (August 15th) Garchen Rinpoche will answer questions sent from 7.30pm to 9pm. The event runs on Youtube and will be translated into English. Questions can be sent to QandA@garchen.net.
  • Further dates can be found in the event schedule on drikung-europe.org.
