Following a vision of His Holiness, the First Drukpa Lineage Council was held in 2009.

Numerous masters were present from all the Himalayan regions: Rinpoches, Kempo, Lopon, etc.  All went well and His Holiness was very happy to see numerous disciples present, notably Westerners.  This event was a source of great merit for the participants.

During the times of Tsangpa Gyaré and Pema Karpo, the Drukpa lineage flourished and so the council is special event to preserve and develop the lineage.

For two days during the first council several meetings took place between directors of many monasteries, where the preservation and the activity of the lineage were at the centre of discussions.  During these discussions, the idea of establishing Dharma study centres to help develop the three aspects of the path - study, meditation, and action - was brought up.

It is important to make every effort to participate in this council, which will take place between April 6 and 15, 2010.

His Holiness has asked Drubpön Ngawang to organize the participation of Europeans. In order to help the greatest number of people take part, the total cost has been lowered to 1,600 Dollars (compared to 2,000 Dollars in 2009). This price includes:

• Tsok offerings
• Offerings to nuns and monks
• Airport – hotel – Amitabha Monastery transport
• Hotel and meals
• Organizational fees

Annelie HUGUET will be in charge of enrollment for Drukpa Plouray and the Damaru Tours travel agency of Mr. INDRA will handle on site organization.

It is a great fortune to be able to seize this opportunity.  Drubpön Ngawang encourages each and everyone to take part in the council, which will again be a source of great merit.
