ALUMNI DRUPPA

Thrangu Rinpoche has asked the Sopa Choling alumni to come together for an annual druppa, or group practice. In 2006 there were fourteen of us who returned to Sopa Choling to perform an Inner Vajrayogini druppa. Due to scheduling conflicts, the 2007 druppa had to be cancelled.

One of the many benefits that has come out of these ‘family reunions’ is that we have been able to get to know each other and discover the passion we share for our practice and the teachings. If you finished the Three Year Retreat at Sopa Choling and are not on our e-mailing list, please contact the Abbey or the Druppon.
