Period of intensive Drenpa Namkha practice

11th March 2026

Today marks the start of an 8-day intensive practice of Drenpa Namkha in Triten Norbutse Monastery, Kathmandu, Nepal.

Prière à Lachen Drenpa Namkha désormais disponible en français / Prayer to Lachen Drenpa Namkha now available in French

12th October 2025

Cette prière est imprégnée d’une grande profondeur de sens et se termine par le mantra du cœur de Drenpa Namkha.

Suivant ce conseil, nous mettons désormais ce livret de prières à…
