Patron: His Holiness Menri Trizin Rinpoche, Spiritual Head of the Bon Tradition.
Founder and Spiritual Director:
Lama Khemsar Rinpoche
In order to make
the teachings as widely available as possible, TYBSC (UK) arranges regular teachings,
practice retreats and other events. These are open to all, regardless of faith,
creed, gender and experience. Rinpoche firmly believes that as common themes
run through all spiritual paths, it is possible to use his teachings to complement
other paths, and vice versa. TYBSC (UK) also hopes to set up a translation project
and library of Bönpo texts, within a central base, in
an effort to provide an environment where spiritual practitioners and academic
students may have access to Bönpo texts
and visiting Lamas. However texts need to be purchased from Tibet, India and
Nepal, as there are very few Bönpo texts
translated into English at present.
TYBSC
(UK) does not currently own any property, although it has a temporary base in
a rented property in Bushey, (Hertfordshire) which its Rinpoche and its members
transformed into a simple temple. It also has bases in Scotland, Wales and Carlisle.
From these places regular teachings, meditations and practices take place. TYBSC
(UK) hopes to acquire a suitable permanent property, which will enable it to
become an educational, cultural and spiritual centre.
The
TYBSC (UK)
is a young charity and has little means to help us preserve this spiritual heritage.
If you are in a position to help in any way – e.g. sponsorship; giving your
time; helping with fund-raising events; donating resources for the library project;
providing venues from which retreats or practice groups might be held; donating
equipment for which you no longer have a use – e.g. computers, photocopiers
etc. or can provide access to such facilities – such help would be most welcome.
Financial donations – no matter how small – are also most gratefully
received "as it is from small droplets that the mighty ocean grows".
