A Community Rooted in Compassion
For more than 25 years, Theg-Chog Norbu Ling (TNG) Ipoh has been a place where people in Perak come together to find peace, wisdom, and compassion.
It began as a small practice group and has grown into a supportive community, guided by Venerable Lama Gelong Sangyay Tendzin and connected to the international TNG network founded in France under the spiritual authority of His Holiness the Karmapa.
A New Chapter for TNG-Ipoh
TNG-Ipoh is now embarking on a new chapter with the building of a dedicated Dharma centre in Taman Golf.
The project is blessed and supported by His Eminence Drubpön Dechen Rinpoche, representative of His Holiness the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa, a highly respected spiritual leader in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.
The new two-storey, 5,000 sq. ft. Dharma centre will include a meditation hall and lama residence, providing space for pujas (prayer rituals), meditation sessions, Dharma teachings, and retreats for up to 150-200 participants.
At present, weekly puja and Dharma sharing sessions from the heart of practice at TNG-Ipoh, and when Venerable Lama Sangyay visits, the centre hosts a month of daily meditations, seminars, and retreats such as the Nyungnäy practice.
Upcoming Fundraising Dinner
To support this vision, a Fundraising Charity Dinner will be held on Sunday, 26 October 2025, 7.00 PM at Chan Yuan Vegetarian Restaurant, Pasir Putih, Ipoh.
The evening will be blessed by HE Drubpön Dechen Rinpoche and Ven. Lama Gelong Sangyay Tendzin.
The costs of the dinner have been generously sponsored by Mr. Peter Ng and Ms. Joan Teoh.
Sponsorships are available at RM5,000, RM3,000, and RM1,000 per table, with only 20 tables open for reservation.
Blessing Ceremonies and Dharma Activities
The following day, Monday, 27 October 2025, a Land Blessing Ceremony will be conducted at the new TNG-Ipoh site in Taman Golf.
His Eminence’s visit will also include a Fire Puja on Tuesday, 28 October 2025, and a Smoke Offering & Mahakala Puja on Wednesday, 29 October 2025, held across TNG-Ipoh’s sites.
