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.
Chagdud Tulku's Prayer of the View
The view of unwavering, self-arising awareness
is the foundation.
Meditating by letting the mind rest in its true nature,
uncontrived and self-liberated, is the path.
Effortlessly expressing one's true nature
is the blissful fruit.
May this precious place of happiness and benefit
to self and others expand and increase.
Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche composed this verse in 1984 at Rigdrol Dechen Ling in Whitehorse, Canada.
