  • The Perfect Teacher

    My retreat lama, Karma Sherab, was something of a scholar in his younger years. At one point after he had served his root lama, Lama Tsepal, and had received mind instructions, Lama Tsepal said the only text he should read from then on is the Words of My Perfect Teacher. From that time onwards, for […]

    • The Kindness of the Lama

      For almost one year now, from the holy site of Namo Buddha Thrangu Tashi Yangtse Monastery, Kyabje Yongzin Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche, despite the burden of his advanced 90 years of age, has been consistently bestowing transmissions upon our community of lamas, tulkus, khenpos and sangha members. These transmissions have included profound teachings of both learned and realised Indian and Tibetan masters, such as the Indian Mahamudra texts. And now, exceptionally, Rinpoche is currently transmitting his own collected works.
