“Whatever joy there is in this world
all comes from desiring others to be happy,
and whatever suffering there is in this world
all comes from desiring myself to be happy.”

The Ripa Ladrang Foundation joyously welcomes to the United States His Eminence Namkha Drimed Rabjam Rinpoche in August/September and Dungsey Lhuntrul Rinpoche in June/July.
We are extremely fortunate, particularly during these degenerate times to have this opportunity to receive teachings from such authentic, highly realized masters and we wish that all may benefit from their deep wisdom and compassion.
This is our first announcement in an effort to help everyone schedule well in advance these key dates to attend the teachings of these wonderful Lamas from the Ripa Lineage. Tentative dates for the teaching schedule in the United States are listed below. Final details regarding venue, practices and times will be announced soon.
His Eminence Terton Namkha Drimed Rabjam Rinpoche is the Head of the Ripa Lineage. His Eminence is a direct prophecy of Guru Rinpoche himself, an exemplary master and a great mahasiddha. He is a brilliant teacher and practitioner, deeply respected by all for his wisdom and high levels of realization.
