Ven. Thubten Wangdu (formerly Renato) and Christine had the wonderful opportunity to personally invite Serkong Tsenshab Rinpoche to Vienna Austria (during Saka Dawa 23 in Tushita Meditation Center in Dharamsala).
His Eminence was very happy and had the idea that it would be very auspicious to do a retreat in the forests and mountains in Austria as Buddha intended. Rinpoche told that His first stay in Europe was in Graz, when he was also invited during His Holiness Dalai Lama’s visit to Austria, told about his so positive memories of that time and was very pleased to receive our invitation!
We are very much looking forward to this special visit in SEPTEMBER 2024 of  HE Serkong Tsenshab Rinpoche, to His wonderful teachings, personal retreat in a small circle (about 55 people) and possibly also an initiation is planned. More information of the program will follow soon.
We are already organizing everything in the best possible way: Teachings in PLC Vienna (especially also for those who cannot attend the retreat) and the mountain-retreat, as Rinpoche wished!
We are looking forward to your support and early registration for both events. Please note that there will be about 100 people on site at the PLC and only 55 people for the retreat at the meditation center on the mountains. at a beautiful Meditation-Center (Kalapa) in the middle of nature in Southern Styria;

All the best, your PLC Team!
His Eminence Serkong Tsenshab Rinpoche is a great and highly respected tantr. master and regularly gives teachings of the highest teachings of the Tibetan Buddhist philosophy of the ancient Nalanda masters, such as the great treatises of Lama Tsongkhapa, Nagarjuna or Chandrakirti and many more.
Rinpoche has the special ability to convey the difficult topics, such as those on Emptiness and Bodhicitta, in such a way that they are of the greatest benefit to beginners and advanced students alike! Rinpoche is also known for his loving humor and the quality of being very heart-opening:
VIDEOS, SERKONG TSENSHAB RINPOCHE
This is by no means the first meeting Iâve had with HE Serkong Rinpoche. In fact, my first encounter with him was back in 2008, when through my connection to Dr. Berzin, I got the chance to see him during my first visit to Dharamsala, the home of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. A relative newcomer to Buddhism at the time, it was rather nerve-wracking to meet someone who was recognized as the reincarnation of such a great teacher. Iâd brought along a small Buddha statue for Rinpoche to bless, thinking he might unwrap it from its long silky kata to take a look and admire it, but disappointingly, he just said a few prayers and blew on it while it was still wrapped up, and that was that. But I soon came to realize that this was simply part of Rinpocheâs personality: exceptionally down-to-earth and very, very humorous. And with us being born just weeks apart, we also shared that generational connection: a love for technology and gadgets, as well as horror movies!
