MAY 2025

Completion of the Rupa Project

Filling and consecration of the new Tara statues
with Lama Kunga Dorje, Friday 23rd May – Sunday 25th May

Last year, Lama Kunga kindly came to Marpa House and guided us with his superb skill and knowledge to fill 37 of our beautiful statues with precious substances and the many mantra rolls we had prepared. He worked incredibly hard for several long days and now the shrine is beaming with statues that have spiritually come to life.

The newly commissioned 21 Tara statues have now arrived at the house and are waiting to be filled and consecrated in the same way. We are delighted that Lama Kunga has accepted our invitation to help us complete the last phase of this amazing project.

This is a great opportunity to be part of the atmosphere and learn from Lama Kunga’s presence in the house and from his enormous knowledge and kindness!

Accommodation is now fully booked but day visitors are welcome, there are dietary restrictions we need to observe during the filling of the rupas, so please get in touch for details if you haven’t been before or need reminding!

Participation is free of charge but we welcome donations towards the running cost of the event. Food will be charged at our normal daily booking rate.
