It is the North American monastic seat of His Holiness the Gyalwa Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje, the spiritual head of the Karma Kagyu Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. KTD is a retreat center where students study and practice Tibetan Buddhism as taught by its distinguished resident lamas, Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche, and Khenpo Ugyen Tenzin as well as many visiting Kagyu teachers. KTD has an international network of local practice centers known as Karma Thegsum Chölings (KTCs), which are under its direct spiritual guidance.

Nyungne Retreat 
(OCT 30-NOV 2)

PLEASE REGISTER HERE: https://kagyu.org/eventBD/attendEdmr?10Nyungne26

In Person Only

Lhabab Düchen commemorates Buddha Shakyamuni's descent from Tush*ta heaven back to the human realm, where he had spent three months teaching the Dharma to his mother, Queen Mayadevi, who had been reborn there. The Nyungne practice is centered on the Bodhisattva Chenrezik, and unfolds over several days. The retreat involves complete fasting (one full day without food or water) combined with silence, prostrations, and mantra recitation. Performing Nyungne is one of the most powerful purification practices in Vajrayana Buddhism for cleansing negative karma and cultivating compassion for all sentient beings.
