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.

From class, we discussed results that do and don’t use the

Geshe la encourages us to learn Tibetan to help gain deeper
understanding of the teachings, and gain access to prayers and rituals that have not been translated. The Tibetan word of the day is offered to give regular exposure to Tibetan reading and vocabulary.
