About us

Drukpa UK aims to utilise the accumulated wisdom of the 800-year old Drukpa lineage to bring benefit to beings in the modern world. We support both Buddhist non-Buddhists alike in their quest to bring happiness, contentment and peace to all beings through activating their love and compassion.

Part of a worldwide network of organisations under the direction of His Holiness Gyalwang Drukpa, Drukpa UK is a UK-based spiritual and charitable organisation dedicated to:

  • Preserving the traditions of the 800-year old Drukpa Lineage
  • Supporting and facilitating the study of Tibetan Buddhist philosophy and providing facilities for the devoted practitioners of the Drukpa Lineage
  • Promoting and organizing Tibetan Buddhist teachings and pilgrimages for Buddhists and non-Buddhists, both in the UK and abroad.

Drukpa UK also supports Live To Love, the global humanitarian and charitable initiative founded by His Holiness, which provides services for people, regardless of religion, gender or race, in the following areas:

  • Education
  • Health
  • Environment
  • Heritage
  • Aid and relief to those affected by natural or man-made disasters

Drukpa UK was established in July 2007 as a company limited by guarantee (registration number 6326093) and granted charitable status in August 2007 (charity registration number 1120665).

Our current projects include:

  • Maintaining a physical base in London for our activities
  • Running a basic meditation course entitled Back To Simplicity
  • Raising funds to support nuns and monks of the Drukpa Lineage in Nepal and Ladakh (India)
  • Providing food and clothing for homeless people in London
