Drikung TMC

Drikung TMC www.drikungtmc.com Visitors are welcome to join any of our events or just to come and enjoy the peace and serenity around our grounds.

The Tibetan Meditation Center was founded in 1982 by Khenchen Konchog Gyaltshen Rinpoché based on the Buddhist understanding that everyone has the ground of goodness and the potential and desire to achieve complete freedom happiness. To actualize this vision, the center offers regular study and practice retreats, public lectures, and short-courses, as well as celebrations and ceremonies. Aside fro

m the weekly programs and special events offered at our Frederick location, our Spiritual Director, Khenpo Tsultrim Tenzin Rinpoché , also maintains an active travel schedule teaching at related centers and groups throughout North America. The Center consists of a shrine hall, an adjoining house (with a small library, book/gift-store, and residence of our spiritual director), a rock-garden replicating
Milarepa’s cave, and a stūpa. As a growing community of monastic and lay practitioners, we are grounded in the Drikung Kagyu lineage - a lineage of Tibetan Buddhism that began when Kyobpa Jigten Sumgön (1143-1217) established Drikung Thil Monastery in Central Tibet in 1179. Our lineage is currently led by the two Kyabgön ("the Refuge and Protector") Rinpochés, His Holiness Drikung Chetsang and His Holiness Drikung Chungtsang. We also have a special relationship with Drikung Thil Monastery as we are a formal branch of the head-monastery in Tibet. The Center consists of a shrine hall, an adjoining house (with a small library, book/gift-store and residence of one of our spiritual directors), a rock-garden replicating Milarepa's cave and a stupa.
