Karma Rinchen has been discussing the potential for a Bodhicharya Britain Centre (BBC) in the UK, the plan is to find central location to create a base for Rinpoche when he comes to these Islands as well as a residential centre and 'meet and retreat place' for UK & Irish Sangha. Rinchen plans to travel with Ringu Tulku and proposes meetings with interested parties along the way. Please see Rinchen's mail below, and if you are interested to support the project in any way, and would available to attend a meeting with Rinchen between 21st - 24th June while he is in Dublin, please email Bodhicharya Ireland and we'll do our best to choose a time that can include you. If that is not possible this time, more details on the project and a contact address can be found here
Invitation from Karma Rinchen
I am currently in Sikkim but hoping to attend all of Rinpoche's June meetings in UK and Ireland (excepting Dzogchen Beara) and so looking forward to meeting those interested in this venture to establish a Bodhicharya Centre in the UK.
So I should be in London, Oxford, Southampton,Edinburgh and Glasgow as well as Dublin, Minehead and Samye Ling.
I'm planning on giving a brief talk at each of these meetings outlining our current proposals and seeing what interest and support there is in the Bodhicharya sangha at this time.
At the end of Rinpoche's 2012 visit, in Samy Ling, I will ask if he thinks we have enough interest and support to make a start on this. If he thinks so, the first thing we would do would be to register a Bodhicharya charity with the UK charity commissioners. After that we would be in a position to start fund raising and perhaps even looking for property.
So I look forward to meeting with you soon.
With best wishes
