Program Description

KNSL Series: Foundational Buddhist Philosophy

With Khenpo Pema Namgyal and Khenpo Tsondru Sangpo

October 5 - November 11, 2020

Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche has requested the Khenpos and Lopons at Ka-Nying Shedrub Ling to give teachings on foundational Buddhist philosophical topics for the benefit of the worldwide sangha. Rinpoche is encouraging us to take this opportunity to study these topics thoroughly, to take notes, and ask questions of our extraordinary monastic teachers. Studying these topics will help us more fully receive Choky Nyima Rinpoche’s teachings during the upcoming online November seminar (details to come).

Through registering here, you will have access to all of the previous teachings and upcoming teachings with our Khenpos and Lamas. This “teaching room” is offered on a donation basis. Please see below for further details:

Donation

During and after registration you will have the opportunity to donate to any of Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche’s Gomdes or Dharma Houses for these teachings.

Please help support the international centers, which cannot host regular programming during this unique time. These centers serve as the spiritual homes for so many sangha members around the world, and are important sources of learning, practice, inspiration, and spiritual support.

A portion of your donation to the Gomdes or Dharma Houses will automatically go to Ka-Nying Shedrub Ling and the instructing teacher.

If you are not connected with a particular Gomde or Dharma House, you can also make a donation directly to DharmaSun.org
