His Holiness the 17th Karmapa, head of the Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, spoke at Stanford University’s Memorial Auditorium on March 17, 2015 on “Caring Connections: Compassion, Technology and the Environment.” We hope you enjoy this video of the dialogue in its entirety!
What’s the difference between trying to practice and trying to succeed? How can “success” become an obstacle to our practice of mindfulness and awareness? Earlier this year students heard Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche teaching on mindfulness at KTD Monastery in Woodstock, NY. Watch the video here.
Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche gives simple and direct instructions for how to bring oneself to the present moment by practicing mindfulness of body. Rinpoche presented this in the context of teaching “the four foundations of mindfulness” (body, feelings, mind and phenomena) at KTD Monastery in Woodstock, NY. April 2014. Enjoy the video!
On Friday November 7, 2014 one of the few remaining masters of the Karma Gardri school of Tibetan Buddhist thangka painting, R.D.

On Saturday, November 8, Salga will demonstrate each step that goes into creating a thangka painting, followed by a panel discussion in the afternoon, with a reception for the artist and exhibition of the artist’s works in the evening.
Attendees at this weekend’s teachings by Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche at Karma Triyana Dharmacakra in Woodstock, New York (“Exploring the Four Foundations of Mindfulness”) may have heard a different approach to the dharma than they had expected.
The Four Foundations of Mindfulness is one of Buddhism’s most famed frameworks for working with the mind and awareness, both on and off the meditation cushion. . . .
A big heartfelt thank you to our friends in Mexico who so generously shared Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche’s teachings with everyone who tuned into the webcast!
