Rinpoche recently announced on Facebook that beginning in 2027 he plans to reduce the frequency of his travel and in-person teaching in the European communities. In many places where he has taught every year, he now plans to visit every other year. His hope is that students will continue to meet and practice by joining him in one of the other places in Europe where he is teaching.
This decision comes after many years of extensive travel. Rinpoche said that he feels this change is important for his long-term wellbeing and that it will help him continue teaching, guiding and supporting our community for many years to come. He emphasized that this does not mean any less connection, rather his commitment to Ligmincha’s centers, students and sangha remains as steady as ever.
