Welcome to our website. Here you can learn about the vision, activities and monthly schedule of Karma Changchub Ling and its Mahasangha Space.

We feel so grateful to all of you—and we mean really all of you—who have helped us not only financially but have become over the years good friends and “family” with KCCL. We will give our best to continue not only what we have fairly successfully done for so many years but we will also not to shy away from undertaking new steps in a Mahasangha spirit to do whatever is needed to stay strong and up to date in this modern day age.

Old and new Vajrayogini practitioners conducted a very “rich” and well-attended seven day hybrid Vajrayogini Druppa—including inspiring talks by the Dorje Loppön Lodro Dorje and Gelong Lodrö Sangpo, as well the traditional construction of a sandmandala and training sessions in making a sindura mandala and tormas, as well as damaru play, etc. Auspiciously, Khenpo Tenkyong also arrived at KCCL at the time of dismantling the Vajrayogini sandmandala. The next day, Khenpo led a beautiful ceremony at Horseshoe island Park where we returned in a procession the sand from the Vajrayogini mandala to the Ocean.

The hybrid festivities included messages from our spiritual advisors, a slideshow of the history and vision of KCCL, the Guru Yoga practice of “Calling the Guru from Afar”, a brief presentation of our Capital Campaign (ending mid June) thank-you-s to all the teachers and the many people without whose support and participation we would not have been able to pursue our Mahasangha vision, and of course snacks and drinks.

We received dear and heartfelt messages from Ani Pema, and from Dzogchen Pönlop Rinpoche, which you can watch here: Address by Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche, and from His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje, which you can watch here: Address by His Holiness Karmapa.

The day chosen for our KCCL Opening Celebration was Vaishakha Day—the most auspicious day in the Tibetan calendar celebrating the birth, death and enlightenment of Shakyamuni Buddha.
