Current Aims

Buddha Statue for DNKL
A five (5) foot tall statue of Shakyamuni Buddha is currently being commissioned in Nepal. It will reside in the new addition planned for the gompa (temple) at DNKL.

Rinpoche reminds us that making a contribution to commissioning a Buddha statue is a way to accumulate great merit. He also said that if you contribute to a large statue such as this, it has the same merit as commissioning a smaller one by yourself.

If you would like to contribute, please mail or bring a check to DNKL marked "Buddha statue."

Long Life Mantra and Prayer for Rinpoche

The most precious Dhakpa Tulku Rinpoche has suggested that we say theTara Long Life mantra for our kind and holy teacher, Gyumed Khensur Rinpoche.

Recent Events

The 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva
Gyumed Khensur Rinpoche taught from this text written by Gyelsay Togmay Sangpo, who lived from 1295 to 1369. This work is about training the mind. This means ridding ourselves completely of all disturbing emotions and their imprints. At the very least it should help us to prevent their coarser forms and gradually to decrease them.

Group Study Workshop on Lamrim Topics
Dharma students were asked to lead discussions on a Lamrim topic. Participants were asked to prepare in advance, bringing questions, doubts and concerns about each topic.
