We are delighted to announce that Khenpo Karma Tenkyong is visiting Halifax and has agreed to give a talk on the outer, inner and secret guru principle to Vajrayana students who have received pointing-out instructions from a recognized vajrayana lineage holder.
Khenpo began his monastic training at a young age. In 2002, he completed the 11-year program in Buddhist Philosophy at Karma Shri Nalanda Institute in Rumtek, Sikkim, earning the degree of Acharya, and was appointed Khenpo by HH the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa.
From 2003 to 2014, Khenpo worked in the Karmapa’s administration, and in 2014 Khenpo was sent to the Karmapa’s main monastery in North America, Karma Triyana Dharmachakra (KTD) in Woodstock, New York, where he served as president of KTD and resident teacher from 2015 to 2018, and serves as resident teacher of KTD and its centers, offering teachings and guidance to their centers, from 2018 until now.
How to participate? You can join on July 18 “in person” at the Halifax Shambhala Center.
