In Estonia is a small group of people who follow Chhimed Rigdzin Rinpoche regularly to different events already since 1996. H.H. Chhimed Rigdzin Rinpoche came for the first time in September 2000 to Estonia and visited the university town of Tartu. He gave an initiation into the Padmasambhava praxis of the Khordong tradition and was accompanied by Jomo Gudrun. At this event Jako Jaagu was appointed as regent for Estonia and also the wish for a monastery was uttered.
