We are very fortunate to receive Drupon Thinley Ningpo Rinpoche back to the Charlottesville area.  It has been more than two years and in that time he has moved to Florida to set up the Drong Ngur Jangchubling Dharma and Retreat Center.  Rinpoche has been very busy teaching around the United States, conducting retreats and he has even started teaching and leading retreats in South America - Peru and Venezuela.  Therefore we are fortunate indeed.

Drupon might have some time before the weekend to give interviews.  If you are interested in this, please email cvilledharma@gmail.com
