This weekend - Saturday 26th
Jim Tarran and Vajrasati Yoga will be hosting the wonderful GESHE LAMA AHBAY TULKU RINPOCHE TIBETAN BUDDHIST Rinpoche (“precious”) is recognised by His Holiness The Dalai Lama as the reincarnation of hermit Lama Ahbay Lobsang Tenzin Rinpoche and head of the Yega Choling Monastery, which makes him responsible for many monks based in exile in South India.
Ahbay Rinpoche gives so much to everyone he meets as he travels the world, spreading his wisdom of loving kindness and compassion (and his infectious laughter).
Geshe Lama Ahbay Tulku Rinpoche’s Story Ahbay Rinpoche was born in Darjeeling, India, in 1973 (in exile from Tibet), and in 1980, when he was seven years old, he became a monk at Gaden Jangtse Monastery in South India. After 2 years of being at the Monastery at 9 years old, in 1982, he took vows to become fully initiated into monkhood under the tutor of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Khabche Ling Rinpoche who gave him the name Thupten Tendar. In 1985, when he was twelve, His Holiness the Dalai Lama recognised him as the reincarnation of the hermit Lama Ahbay Lobsang Tenzin Rinpoche, who lived in a cave and was famous for his supernatural powers. In the same year, he was enthroned as Lama Ahbay Tulku Rinpoche Jigme Thupten Tendar in the Gaden Jangtse Monastery in South India.
The event will be at the studio Whippingham road Brighton from 11:30am - 4:30pm Jim Tarran will lead some Tibetan seated yoga and meditation before lunch. After lunch Jim will interview Abhay Rinpoche and then Abhay will give a dharma talk and then blessing bracelets and protection necklaces will be offered directly from the Rinpoche to everyone attending.
