Kusoom Ling Drubdra International announces its Yar-Tsham September 2023!
As we all know that due to Covid 19, TYBSC UK had to postpone the yearly Yar-Tsham (Summer Retreat).
After having the necessary board meetings to consider every aspect including the public safety measures,
it has now been decided that we can resume the most crucial Face to Face Yar-Tsham with Khyimsar Lama Rinpoche,
which will be held in September 2023.
As always, the Retreat will run for 15 full days.
The topic of the Yartsham will be Zhang Zhung Nyen Gyud Dzogchen teachings.
The retreat is also open to the general public and the specific PREREQUISITE must be fulfilled.
Details including venue will all be made known to individuals once they register.
The envisaged date would be from Friday the 1st to Friday the 15th September 2023.

visited TYBSC UK in May 2019
His Holiness bestowed SHERAB MAWAI SENG-GHE (Wisdom Deity) Empowerment
"The News letter said: Dear all, Om Matri Muye Sale Dhu!
This is to inform each of you that in 2019, from Wednesday 22nd till Monday 27th of May,
His Holiness the 34th, Menri Trizin Lungtok Dawa Dhargye Rinpoche visited the TYBSC in London.
His Holiness and three of his attendants toured Yungdrung Bon centres
based in Europe, USA, Canada and Mexico. Whilst at the Tibetan Yungdrung Bon Study Centre, U.K, His Holiness bestowing
SHERAB MAWAI SENGHE (Wisdom Deity) Empowerment. This particular empowerment was purposefully requested by
TYBSC’s spiritual director Khyimsar Lama Rinpoche."
Recently: Ponlop Trinley Nyima Rinpoche visited in April
Ponlob Trinley Nyima Rinpoche of Menri Monastery came on 9th of April 2019
TYBSC’s Spiritual Director Khyimsar Lama Rinpoche suggested to the Ponlob to give a Dzogchen teaching (Aa-Trid
Dzogchen).
The non-residential teaching ran for 5 days.
.
This is also to update you on the BONPO GONPA known as “Kusoom Lhundrub Ling” at New Barnet which was formally
acquired on 4th, March 2013 by TYBSC under the direction of Khyimsar Lama Rinpoche. It is now called Gonpa since the
installation of the Buddha statue, from Lhakhang as initially named. Although the Gonpa did not grown in size on a
conventional level but on a spiritual level it has grown boundlessly since the successful installation of the statue
of the JOWO TONPA SHENRAB, in the best possible authentic method & wisdom way including its RAB-NEY-consecration,
based on Yungdrung Bon Buddhism of Zhang Zhung and Tibet. Thus the Gonpa forms the complete spiritual essence of
Zhang Zhung and Tibet—a little TIBET at your door step!!! Therefore, we have created a most profound Holy-Pilgrimage site
at your door step and Khyimsar Lama Rinpoche strongly suggests that every human being should take advantage of this,
regardless of one’s believed faith, to come for pilgrimage. Pilgrimage or NEY-KOR’s concept is to purify one’s kar-mic
sins which have been accumulated during one’s many past life times, in one’s present life and one’s future lives, through
various negative actions such as killing, stealing, sexual misconducts, lying, causing frictions, idle gossips,
negative intentions, evil thoughts, repudiation of enlightened teachings etc.
One can make sincere CONFESSIONS in front of the Buddha Tonpa Shenrab who is lively there in the GONPA with HIS
indiscriminate Love and Compassion. The London Jowo Tonpa Shenrab, as Rinpoche also calls the statue, is ever ready
to FORGIVE you if you sincerely confess all your kar-mic sins and PROMISE not to repeat such actions again from now
on and the possibility of being forgiven is in the horizon of BUDDHA TONPA SHENRAB!!! There will be no cost at all
to come for the PILGRIMAGE. Traditionally, one can make offerings or bring organic butter which will be offered in
front of your London Jowo as shown here in your and your family’s name (both living and dead). It’so simple to do
yet has GREAT BENEFIT!
Such an authenticity is lacking in almost everyone’s life. Khyimsar Lama Rinpoche intentionally created the Gonpa
and the statue keeping in mind that people have nothing other than bubble-like lives and are lacking such an opportunity!
Nobody should die without purifying one’s karmic sins here and NOW! Students in UK, Europe and USA should encourage
anyone to come and organise such NEY-KORS, which is again an act of compassion.
In the 2013 News update, we have mentioned that the NEWLY ACQUIRED Lhakhang/Gonpa is a stepping stone for a retreat centre.
As it’s fifth year is approaching, TYBSC under its directorship of Khyimsar Lama Rinpoche, looked and searched various
lands & properties and were able to find a number of suitable retreat centres in the Lake District and Wiltshire areas, etc.
However, due to lack of funds, we could not proceed further.
With love and best wishes,
From Rinpoche and the trustees of the TYBSC
To all dear Drubdra-was, well wishers and friends of Yungdrung Bon,
Om Matri Muye Sale Dhu!
