Dear Friends,
We are very sad to announce that Ringu Tulku is now unable to come to Dublin at this time. His involvement in the European Visit of His Holiness Karmapa has led to increasing demands on his time and availability this year, and unfortunately for us he will not be able to come. He will teach in Dzogchen Beara on the weekend of 10th-11th May – if any of you are fortunate enough to travel to West Cork you will be able to see him there. www.dzogchenbeara.org
As yet we do not know if Rinpoche will be able to reschedule his visit for this year – if we do hear any further news we will keep you posted. And we remain hopeful for 2015!
Ringu Tulku Rinpoche was born in Kham, Lingtsang, in 1952, and was recognised by the 16th Gyalwang Karmapa as the incarnation of one of the tulkus of the Kagyu monastery of Rigul, in Lingtsang. He received teachings from the Gyalwang Karmapa, Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, Kyabje Dodrupchen Rinpoche, and many eminent Khenpos. He was awarded the title of Khenpo by the 16th Gyalwang Karmapa, and Lopen Chenpo (PhD) by the International Nyingmapa Society in 1983.
Rinpoche’s fluent English and warm, friendly teaching style is appreciated at Dharma centres around the world. Since 1990 he has taught Buddhism and meditation at more than 50 universities, institutes and Buddhist centres in Europe, USA, Canada, Australia and Asia

“The Heart Treasures of the Enlightened Ones”
In this book, two great Tibetan Buddhist masters of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries challenge us to critically examine our materialistic preoccupations and think carefully about how we want to spend the rest of our lives. At the same time, they provide practical guidance in following the Buddhist path, starting from the most basic motivation and culminating in the direct experience of reality beyond the reach of conceptual mind.
The root text is a teaching in verse written in the nineteenth century by Patrul Rinpoche, one of the
outstanding teachers of his day. In the accompanying commentary, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche (1910–1991)—lineage holder of the Nyingma school and one of the great expounders of the Dharma in Europe and North America—expands upon the text with his characteristic compassion and uncompromising thoroughness. Patrul Rinpoche’s fresh and piercing verses combined with Khyentse Rinpoche’s down-to-earth comments offer a concise yet complete examination of the Buddhist path.
