Rinpoche himself said that when we are all together, he will be with us too. With this in mind, we sincerely hope you can join us at Marpa House for a very special weekend and a meaningful opportunity for us all to be together to remember and celebrate the life of our precious teacher, Kyabje Chime Rinpoche.
We are deeply honoured that Khenpo Gyurme Tsultrim Rinpoche of Shechen Monastery will be assisting us with the event.
SATURDAY 26TH SEPTEMBER
Start: 2:00 pm
Finish: 9:00 pm
From 2:00 pm – 6:30 pm approx.
Programme of talks, prayers and practice, film, and excerpts from Rinpoche’s teachings, as we reflect on his whole life.
From 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm approx.
An evening session including a Tibetan meal, a short Chenrezik puja, followed by music.
SUNDAY 27TH SEPTEMBER
Start: 10:00 am
Finish: 2:00 pm
From 10:00 am – 2:00 pm approx.
Informal practice and prayer sessions, screening of teachings by Kyabje Chime Rinpoche, and sharing a light vegetarian lunch, provided by Marpa House. This will provide a lovely opportunity for people to catch up with each other.
The event will be free of charge. Please note that this event is in-person only and will not be shown on Zoom. However, we will be filming the weekend and will produce an edited version, which we will share later in the year.

Wednesday 22nd April at 2:30 pm – 4:30 pm. By donation (Suggested donation: £5). Online via Zoom. Live from the Marpa House shrine room.
We continue to focus on prayers and meditation following Rinpoche’s Parinirvana. We are very pleased to inform you that Khenpo Tseten Dorje of Shechen Monastery will be returning to Marpa House to lead some prayers and practices for us.
He’ll be leading the Narak Kong Shak practice with us. This is said to be particularly effective in repairing samaya and broken vows, and is often done to support the sangha following a great teacher’s passing. He will also lead us in the Khenpo Gangshar Guru Yoga practice, which was very close to Rinpoche’s heart.
This session is offered on a donation basis. Donations are to help cover the costs of preparing the texts, facilitating the sessions and hosting Khenpo Tseten’s visit. Book your place here.
