Teaching and Instruction by Lama Tashi Topgyal
Translation by Lama Yeshe Gyamtso
Cost of the weekend: $120 (membership discount applies).
The teaching is a continuation of an explanation of Guru Rinpoche’s instructions on the stages of the path discovered as terma by Chokgyur Lingpa. These instructions are part of the very secret chittasadhana of Dorje Drakpo Tsal. They will be explained using a commentary by Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye, “An Expansion of the Light of Wisdom.” A portion of that text has been published in English by Rangjung Yeshe Publications as “The Light of Wisdom. Vol 1.”

KPL Construction Project
KPL has reached a new milestone and received the certificate of occupancy for the basement and kitchen. The kitchen had its first use for our 10th anniversary on May 4th.
Besides the first-floor shrine, very little remains to be done to complete these two floors. The minor work is first floor and basement air conditioning and enhancements of the water system filter and pump.
Here is the summary of the anticipated cost:
- First floor air conditioning:
$7,200 - Basement air conditioning:
$7,200 - Water filter/pump:
$6,000
Please consider a tax-deductible donation to the construction fund to help us finalize these systems in the KPL new building.

Vision for KPL
Bardor Tulku Rinpoche established Kunzang Palchen Ling in 2003. He is offering this center to Western students in accordance with the wish of his root guru, the 16th Gyalwang Karmapa, Rangjung Rigpe Dorje, to disseminate the Dharma in general and transmission of the Barway Dorje lineage in particular. Read more about the history of KPL and Bardor Rinpoche's vision for our center.
