Welcome to The Centre

 
Tibetan Buddhism in Wales

Palpung Changchub Dargyeling is a Tibetan Buddhist Centre in Wales a seat of the Kenting Tai Situpa with resident teacher, Lama Rabsang. There is regular group practice, courses and teachings as well as retreats and visits from great Tibetan teachers. All are very welcome.

 

The Ven. Mingyur Rinpoche is unable to come to the UK this year, and so Lama Rabsang will be teaching the Year Four Mahamudra course with Lama Chodrak translating.

 

You may now book to the Six Paramitas and Mahamudra teachings (Sunday 15th-19th August). More information can be found HERE. The booking form is HERE.

 

The visit of H.E. Kalu Rinpoche was a great blessing for one and all - his open candour was refreshing and inspirational, some photos may be found here. More images to come.

Group Prayers

Every Sunday evening 4pm-5pm the centre holds a group Chenrezig Practice. Chenrezig is the embodiment of compassion and probably the most popular deity in Tibet. His mantra, Om Mani Peme Hung, is carved on rocks and mountain sides throughout Tibet. It is the inspiration for countless folk songs and a good introduction to Tibetan Buddhist practice for new-comers. The prayers are open to everyone. To read a commentary on the Chenrezig practice kindly go here.
