“Creating a Solid Future”: KCCL Capital Campaign 2024

During the more than 3 years of running our center on Young Avenue in Halifax we have served the local sangha by providing classes, feast practice and daily meditation practice as well as hosting visiting teachers and renting out our Mahasangha space. It feels that we are now well established in Halifax and are looking to stabilizing our future. 

“Sons and Daughters of Noble Family” Lecture Series

Sons and Daughters of Noble Family

On July 14, David Karma Choepel and Lodro Sangpo engaged in a discussion on Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche, Gampo Abbey, Sopa Chöling three-year retreat center and Karma Changchub Ling (KCCL). If you want to watch their lecture, click here.

You can also see separately a lovely slideshow on Gampo Abbey, Söpa Chöling and Karma Changchub Ling (KCCL) which was used by Lodrö Sangpo for his presentation.

The Trungpa Rinpoche Reading Corner

The following discussion of Vajrayogini is an article which was edited by Carolyn Gimian for inclusion in a catalog for the exhibit “The Silk Route and the Diamond Path: Esoteric Buddhist Art on the Trans-Himalayan Trade Routes.” For the exhibit, Trungpa Rinpoche supervised the design and construction of an actual shrine setup for the practice of the Vajrayogini Sadhana, displayed with all its attendant ritual objects. Some of the material in the article was dictated by Trungpa Rinpoche; some of it was taken from earlier talks he had given. It is material that is not available in any of his other published writings.

The article was included in Volume III, pp. 412–441, of The Collected Works of Chögyam Trungpa. The beginning section of this article is reprinted by arrangement with Shambhala Publications, Inc., Boulder, CO: www.shambhala.com.
