Welcome to Chagdud Gonpa Dechen Ling

Chagdud Gonpa Dechen Ling is honored as the first Dharma center established by Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche in the West.

The sangha is dedicated to supporting the enlightened intent of Rinpoche and the Nyingma Lineage, engaging in the Red Tara Terma of Apong Terton and The Vajrakilaya Terma of the Dudjom Lineage.

“Shower the nectar of love upon those who fan the flames of hatred! Bless them to recognize one another as parents, and thereby usher in auspiciousness and happiness!”
Excerpt From: Prayer of Truthful Words to Pacify the Fear of War by the Mahasiddha T’hang Tong Gyalpo
