[Film night] Akong Rinpoche: A Remarkable Life

A feature-length documentary film about the founder of Europe's first Tibetan Buddhist centre in Dumfriesshire has staged its world premiere. The story of Akong Tulku Rinpoche was screened at the Samye Ling site he founded in Eskdalemuir. A Remarkable Life covers everything from his birth in Tibet in 1939 to his murder in China in 2013.

In order that the film can fulfil the aspiration to share with the world Rinpoche's example of Compassion in Action plus raise funds for the Akong Memorial Foundation, there will be a donation box and/or card machine if you would like to make a donation towards the showing.

After the film, you are welcome to sit in our Cafe and have a discussion about the film over a cuppa.
