The Samten Tse Czech Republic centre in Prague was founded in 1998 with the blessings of H.E. Mindrolling Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche. Rinpoche has been coming to the Czech Republic since 2001 to bestow teachings to the sangha of STCR as well as to many other students from both the Czech Republic and abroad. Members of the STCR sangha regularly travel each year to Samten Tse Retreat Centre in India for group and individual teachings. Currently STCR has a regular schedule of study, practice and retreats for both newer and older students, including shamatha/vipasana, ngöndro practices and Vajrayana sadhana practices.
