What People Say

  • I was fortunate to attend the 'Death over Dinner' evening hosted by Ven. Trin-la. The evening was most enjoyable. Trin- la was a fantastic hostess, the food was absolutely delicious and the company delightful. It was great to attend a dinner party and talk about a totally different topic. Thank you for organising a wonderful night.

  • I wanted to write and say how fortunate we were to have the privilege of attending the Family Dharma / Mindful Families classes over the past 2 years. It is difficult to eloquently express the depth of my gratitude to the Centre for giving us the gift of Ven. Drolkar's wonderful life lessons for our family. It was a fantastic way to share Buddhism learnings with my children and brought us so much joy and peace. We learned to be kinder and more compassionate humans with practical techniques to cope with life's challenges. Thank you to everyone who supports the beacon of light that is the Centre.

  • I especially love the thangka painting classes which LTC runs. They provide a great insight into Tibetan Buddhism and are always full of friendly, like-minded artists.
