ཕུན་ཚོགས་ཆོས་གླིང། Phuntsok Chö Ling Tibetan Buddhist Temple

Phuntsok Chö Ling Tibetan Buddhist Temple in Rotterdam is deeply honoured to announce an Extraordinary Intensive Retreat of Empowerments, Oral Transmissions, Commentaries, and Blessings of the profound treasures of His Holiness Khenpo Jigmé Phuntsok Rinpoche.

This rare and precious full days retreat will take place from 19 to 25 March 2026 and will be guided by Lama Jigmé Namgyal Rinpoche and Khenpo Tsewang (from Australia)—both close heart-disciples and spiritual heirs of His Holiness Khenpo Jigmé Phuntsok Rinpoche. The retreat offers a unique and extraordinary opportunity to receive complete transmissions, empowerments, and essential guidance within an authentic and unbroken lineage.

About the Retreat

This intensive retreat is devoted to receiving the complete empowerments, oral transmissions (lung), and essential instructions of the profound Dharma treasures of His Holiness Khenpo Jigmé Phuntsok Rinpoche. The program combines deep blessings, authentic Vajrayāna transmission, contemplative practice, and in-depth study, transmitted with care and precision by realized lineage holders.

All empowerments and transmissions will be given without prior announcement of specific timings. For this reason, participants are strongly encouraged to attend the entire retreat to ensure the continuity and completeness of the transmissions.

Certain very deep and secret empowerments will be given strictly face-to-face and require the presence of students with pure intention, restored samaya, and genuine commitment to the Buddha, Dharma, Sangha, and lineage masters.
