Over the past month, Phakchok Rinpoche offered teachings for the inauguration of the Kindful Wisdom Institute at Kremsegg Castle in Austria (13–18 July 2026), at the Summer Seminar at Samye Hermitage New York (21–27 July), for Casa del Dharma in Mexico City (31 July – 2 August), at Rangjung Yeshe Gomde Mexico (2–4 August), and has just begun a program at Samye Hermitage Rio de Janeiro (7–9 August).

Rinpoche bestowed several empowerments and taught on the paths of dignity, transformation, and realization. Notably, after 12 years, Rinpoche returned to Mexico, and at Gomde Mexico, bestowed a Kurukulle empowerment, taught an overview of the practice, and led a fire puja. It was a wonderful and inspiring reconnection with the Mexican sangha, and we rejoice in the flourishing of Dharma activity there.

On Dakini Day, 8 August, Rinpoche bestowed the Korwa Dongtruk empowerment in Rio and began teaching on A Liberation Upon Hearing from the Tukdrup Barché Künsel.

We rejoice in Rinpoche’s tireless activity and in the sangha’s growing connection across these lands.
