“Sons and Daughters of Noble Family” Lecture Series
On July 14, David Karma Choepel and Lodro Sangpo engaged in a discussion on Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche, Gampo Abbey, Sopa Chöling three-year retreat center and Karma Changchub Ling (KCCL), of which the video recording will soon be made available.
In the meantime have a look at the slideshow on Gampo Abbey, Söpa Chöling and Karma Changchub Ling (KCCL) which was used by Lodrö Sangpo for his presentation.
The Trungpa Rinpoche Reading Corner
The following discussion of Vajrayogini is an article which was edited by Carolyn Gimian for inclusion in a catalog for the exhibit “The Silk Route and the Diamond Path: Esoteric Buddhist Art on the Trans-Himalayan Trade Routes.” For the exhibit, Trungpa Rinpoche supervised the design and construction of an actual shrine setup for the practice of the Vajrayogini Sadhana, displayed with all its attendant ritual objects. Some of the material in the article was dictated by Trungpa Rinpoche; some of it was taken from earlier talks he had given. It is material that is not available in any of his other published writings.
The article was included in Volume III, pp. 412–441, of The Collected Works of Chögyam Trungpa. The beginning section of this article is reprinted by arrangement with Shambhala Publications, Inc., Boulder, CO: www.shambhala.com.
