Teacher
Ven. Panchen Ötrul Rinpoche was born in Kham, Eastern Tibet, in 1939 to nomadic parents.
He was immediately recognised as a re-incarnate Lama due to the many auspicious signs that surrounded his birth. When he was three years old the search had started all across Tibet for the re-incarnation of the Panchen Lama.

New flexible pricing structure
Do people come on their own or with someone else ?
Most people come on the own from all different parts of the country and also some from abroad who fly into Shannon.
The atmosphere is quite easy going and friendly and warm, so its the type of centre where you arrive and before you know you feel at home.
Sometimes people do come in pairs if they also happen to have a friend who enjoys yoga weekends too.
Is it cold in Winter ?
The centre has underfloor heating throughout the building. So even if the weather gets cold outside, it is nice and cosy inside. This includes the Yoga room and the dorms at night.
Staying an additional night
This may enable you to get a cheaper flight. You need to check this with the centre and it depends on availability.
