Welcome to our gallery page where we'd like to share a little of our history and the unimaginable teachers who have visited. We'll share a little about them and what they taught. It's thanks to Choje Akong Tulku inviting such illustious teachers to the UK and to Karma Jiga for inviting them to what was to become DBG. We hope you enjoy sharing these moments from our group's past. Thanks for your interest.

Yogi, Guru, Professor
The Khenpo is a prominent scholar yogi in the Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. He teaches widely in the West, often through songs of realization, his own as well as those composed by Milarepa and other masters of the past. "Tsültrim Gyamtso" translates to English as "Ocean of Ethical Conduct".
Some of the Khenpo's activity.
