Teaching on Ngondro with Khenpo Karze

At the request of Her Eminence Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo Rinpoche, Khenpo Karze is offering a four-week series on the Seven Line Prayer and Ngöndro over the coming Sundays. These teachings are designed to help newcomers and students deepen their understanding of these foundational Vajrayana practices — and to prepare those planning to attend the Ngöndro empowerment weekend with Khenpo Tenzin Norgay Rinpoche on April 18–19.

The series began on March 15 with a teaching on the meaning of the Seven Line Prayer. Watch the recording here.

Upcoming Ngöndro teachings: March 22 | March 29 | April 5

Register here to attend all or any part of the empowerment weekend.

Join us at 11:30 a.m. for a meditation class led by Khenpo Karze, followed by a public talk and Q&A.

The meditation focus varies from class to class. We are currently learning how to meditate on the Four Immeasurables: loving-kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity.

The class begins with 30 minutes of meditation instruction, followed by 5-10 minutes of meditation practice, and then continues with discussion and Q&A. Each session concludes with a brief Chenrezig practice in which we recite Om Mani Padme Hung (a prayer of compassion), and a dedication prayer that our efforts benefit all beings.

This class offers a strong foundation in meditation, helping cultivate inner peace and compassion amidst busy lives.

All are welcome!

This program is open to anyone with an interest in Buddhism and you can come to all or any part of the program. Families are welcome. There is no fee, but donations are encouraged.

Join us!

Class is offered IN-PERSON in our Prayer Room and ONLINE on Facebook Live and YouTube Live.

About the teacher:
Khenpo Tenzin Karze graduated from Ngagyur Nyingma Institute’s intensive Buddhist graduate course in 2006, and was awarded the degree of Khenpo, equivalent to a PhD in Buddhist Philosophy, in 2011. He has received teachings and empowerments from many great Nyingma masters, and taught extensively in various Palyul temples in Nepal, India, Europe and Taiwan. This is his first time in the USA. We are delighted that Khenpo is now in residence at KPC and will be providing traditional Dharma instruction to help us deepen our practice of wisdom and compassion.
