Inauguration Letter
The Inauguration Letter by HH Tai Situ Rinpoche
Any kind of Dharma activity is focus to help every sentient being to uplift from suffering of Samsara and to achieve Buddhahood and also to bring harmony and peace in this world. Especially a proper Dharma Centre with genuine spiritual activity will serve the lineage of Buddha Dharma. I am delighted to know that Palpung Changchub Dargye Ling in the UK are having their opening ceremony on a very auspicious day and that this Centre will carry the lineage of the Palpung congregation of Tibetan Buddhism, to preserve and propagate the unbroken pure lineage of Buddha Dharma and to serve humanity and every sentient being. The Palpung Changchub Dargye Ling Centre in the UK is also a branch of Palpung Sherabling, which is the main seat of the lineage of Tai Situpas in India. Dharma Centres are established only on the request and interest of people who wish to have a proper Dharma place and teacher. Currently Lama Rabsang of Palpung Sherabling Monastery is appointed as resident Lama of Palpung Changchub Dargyeling. He is a qualified Lama who also has good experience to train the students in Dharma practice and administering the Centre. I do believe that you all will learn proper Dharma under Venerable Lama and uphold the great lineage of Buddhism to serve humanity and world peace. Relatively speaking, the proper function of a Dharma Centre is to assist the needs of every student according to their Dharma needs for the benefit of everyone. I wish to encourage every Dharma member and supporters to continue your moral and financial support in order that this Dharma Centre flourishes. I send my sincere prayers and congratulations for the opening ceremony of Palpung Changchub Dargyeling in the UK.
Yours in the holy Dharma.

Appointment Letter
The Appointment Letter for Lama Rabsang
Lopsang Lama Khamba was ordained as a monk at the age of 18. He has been a monk at Palpung Sherabling Monastery in India since 1990.
Since this time he has completed the traditional three years retreat during which he received the transmission of Karma Kagyu lineage and after the completion of his retreat he was appointed as the discipline master of the monastery for four years before attending language school in Birmingham, England.
Now, I am appointing him as a CHOJE lama (Resident Lama) of Palpung Changchub Dargye Ling at UK, which is branch Dharma Centre of Palpung Sherab Ling. His knowledge of Buddhism and ritual ceremonial is well completed according the Palpung Congregation of Tibetan Buddhism.
I believe his stay will be beneficial to the followers of Buddha Dharma and Dharma Centres.
With Prayers,
