About the event
Organized by Siddharta's Intent Europe. Marking the anniversary of the great Kongtrul Rinpoche (1813–1899), we will begin with a 15-minute celebration honoring his remarkable life and legacy. The First Kongtrul was a close teacher, student, and lifelong friend of Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo, and a central figure in the Rimé (non-sectarian) movement of Tibetan Buddhism. Following this, we will hold an open one-hour Question & Answer session, during which you are welcome to raise and discuss any topic related to Buddhism.
