Martsang Kagyu UK Buddhist Centre

His Holiness is an exceptional teacher, who makes the sessions interactive and engaging. More importantly, his objective is not simply to get you through the course materials, but rather to ensure that you fully understand the teachings. Many thanks to His Holiness Gangri Karma Rinpoche.

I studied the Martsang Kagyu Lam Rim teachings directly from H.H. Gangri Karma Rinpoche since about 2014. The Lim Rim's instructions have been a catalyst to expose my clouded awareness and stir the aspiration to integrate the teachings into my life and move forward with a determination to help myself and, hopefully, others.It is easy to gain intellectual knowledge but not so easy to achieve a profound experience. However, H.H Gangri Karma's pure presence and example allow you to experience living Buddhism.In a world where new agers of all persuasions promise enlightenment, H.H Gangri Karma transmits beautifully and directly the traditional teachings for us to contemplate.It is unheard of to get such access to a great Master, let alone a lineage holder. I urge anyone who aspires to gain a deep understanding of Buddhism, the nature of the mind and the human condition to investigate the teachings on offer.H.H. is truly a light in what increasingly appears to be a ridiculously degenerate age. I found my idea of myself challenged, exposed and routed and yet strangely uplifted and free.The Lam Rim teachings of mind training work very well to help us understand the forces at work in the world. They are indeed timeless teachings. For the past 800-plus years, the Martsang Kagyu teachings have assisted beings in seeing the nature of reality. I cannot thank H.H. enough.

You have found a priceless gem of inexhaustible wisdom. Truly, Martsang Kagyu is the most sound and simple teaching I have found having practised meditation in different traditions since 1975. I cannot recommend their tradition and teaching highly enough. You have reached the site of home.

I have been following HH Gangri Karma Rinpoche's class on the way of the Bodhisattva for several months and it has been a transformative experience. Rinpoche is a great teacher and the class is taught in a very clear and open manner. Highly recommended.

I have found the classes very helpful, deep and informative. Having a weekly meditation class has been like an anchor that has helped me to cultivate a sense of calmness in these challenging times.

I attended the sleep meditation before which was very successful for me. I used to be plagued by nightmares and sleep was difficult for over 15 years. The Sleep Meditation really worked well for me. All the nightmares did stop and I have been able to sleep normally years since the course. it has been life changing I would say. Thank you so much to His Holiness Gangri Karma Rinpoche.

I have been a student in the meditation classes for 2 years . The Martsang Kagyu UK Buddhist Centre gave me a warm welcome and introduction to meditation. It has been an extremely positive experience. I would highly recommend these classes.

It is a huge privilege to study Lam Rim with His Holiness Gangri Karma Rinpoche. Each class leaves me full of inspiration and deep in thought about the universe and our place within it. The teaching is very precise and His Holiness’s commitment to transmitting the knowledge is humbling. I would highly recommend taking this opportunity if it finds you.

I have attended Meditation,Dream Yoga and Bardo (all the short courses ) and am now attending a two year course - The Way of the Bodhisattva. It is a guide to cultivating the mind of enlightenment, and to generating qualities of love, compassion, generosity, and patience. It extends to all sentient beings and even to maintaining harmony with the environment. We are lucky to have His Holiness Gangri Karma Rinpoche giving lectures in person and explaining in depth the great classics of the Mahayana. The class discussions and Q&A are a great opportunity to ask questions and to find out the truth of our own doubt. A genuine master who shouldn't be missed!
