Hi,

UPDATE: The renovations are still underway, so Wed. May 18 meditation will be cancelled.

We have some renovation work at the temple happening this week, and must cancel our meditation/prayer tonight, as well as the Sunday May 15 teaching. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Thank you,
JTCL Calgary

JamTseCholing Tibetan Buddhist Temple is pleased to announce the visit of our founder H.E Tulku Neten Rinpoche to inaugurate the historic opening of the first Tibetan temple in Calgary.  Rinpoche will be in Calgary late August and we will be hosting a series of teachings and events with schedules to follow.

We will also be holding a fundraising event to help raise funds for operating and additional renovation costs.  Please save Saturday September 3rd 2022 for the main fundraiser event.  

This will be at Marlborough Hall with Rinpoche there to bless the event. We appreciate any assistance including donations and sponsorships for this event.  

If you are interested in supporting this event, or have any questions, please reach out by email.

Tickets will be available by mid May with further details to follow.

Hello Dharma Friends,

We are pleased to inform everyone that our Temple renovation is now completed. However, our official opening ceremony will have to wait until we know when Neten Rinpoche will be available.

In the mean time Geshe la wants to inform everyone that our temple will be open for visitors on Thursday March 3 (1st day of Losar) from 10am to 6pm for (ཆོས་མཇལ་) Choejal visitors. This is our tradition to pay homage to the Buddhas on the first day of New Year and also wish our teachers “Losar Tashi Delek” (happy new year).

Thank you and wishing you all happy Losar.

New Schedule

Starting Sunday March 6th, Sunday gatherings will be at the temple and start at 11am. For this occasion, Geshe la would like to hold a Tara ritual for this first gathering.

Weekly meditation and prayer sessions have been on hold since the COVID pandemic started. They will resume and be held Wednesdays from 6:30pm to 8pm starting Wednesday March 9th.

Summary:
Sunday Dharma teachings: 11am – 12:30pm MT
Wednesday meditation/prayer: 6:30pm – 8pm MT

Events will continue to be hosted in the usual Zoom room to allow for virtual attendance.

Please note that the temple address is currently inaccurate in online maps/directories. The new address of the temple is: 924 36 St SE Calgary, AB T2A 1B9

Hello Dharma Friends,

The Dharma teaching today (Jan 30) has been cancelled due to urgent renovation work at the temple today. Apologies for the inconvenience and short notice.
