Special Announcement: Grand Opening Ceremony of Tsoknyi Gechak Ling
Grand Opening Celebration of Tsoknyi Gechak Ling Nunnery
October 26 – 27, 2026
Teachings: October 29 – November 6, 2026
Tsoknyi Rinpoche has announced the opening celebration of Tsoknyi Gechak Ling Nunnery in Chobar, Nepal. This historic occasion honours the realisation of Tsoknyi Rinpoche twofold vision:
- – establishing a sacred home for the Tsoknyi Lineage in Nepal
- – sharing the secular Fully Being teachings, which connect us to our innate quality of essence love in order to heal the wounds of ourselves and the world
This achievement reflects years of dedicated effort, inspired by the blessings and aspirations of great masters, and made possible through the collective generosity and support of thousands of devoted students, benefactors, volunteers and friends across the world.
Tsoknyi Gechak Ling will serve as a foundation for generations of women and girls to receive an integrated secular and spiritual education – including a modern curriculum, rigorous studies of Buddhist philosophy, training in ritual and sacred arts, and opportunity for deep spiritual practice and realization of awakening.
It is Rinpoche’s aspiration that this environment will support the nuns’ spiritual potential to preserve, embody, and share the Dharma with dignity and insight. His vision includes reducing mental and emotional suffering, and encouraging groundedness, essence love and human flourishing.
Following the two-day opening celebration, there will be a day of rest, after which nine total days of teachings will begin. The nine days consist of three programmes, each lasting three days. You are invited to join for the entire programme or come for any part. Further details will be announced in the coming months.
We offer our deepest appreciation for all who have contributed to the realisation of this vision. May this new beginning bring vast benefit to countless beings.
