PROGRAMME
Kagyu Monlam Poland is a part of an international Kagyu Monlam led under the guidance of His Holiness the 17th Gjalwang Karmapa. International Kagyu Monlam Committee annually delegates Umdze to lead the prayers as well as monks to prepare tormas. Every year one Rinpoche from Karma Kagyu tradition is invited to lead Kagyu Monlam as a main Lama. In Grabnik it was two times Drubwang Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche, two times Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche and six times Venerable Sangter Rinpoche. Khenpos and Lamas from Benchen Monastery in Nepal and European lamas take part in the prayers as well.
We are happy to announce that for the first time since the pandemic, this year's Kagyu Monlam will be led by venerable Tibetan lamas.
The main lama presiding over this year Monlam will be Khenpo and Dorje Lobpyn from Benchen Monastery.
