NAMO GURU
His
Eminence Kyabje Garchen Triptrül Rinpoche founded the Drikung Mahayana
Center in the year 2000 with a series of precious teachings and
empowerments. In early 2001, the Center was honored to sponsor significant
teachings by Traga Rinpoche, a heart disciple that Garchen Rinpoche
invited from Tibet while Garchen Rinpoche was on extended overseas travel.
The Center provides an opportunity to generate an appreciation
for one of the world’s great religions and
cultures. While the Drikung
Mahayana Center seeks to preserve those practices and insights that are
specific to the Drikung Kagyu Lineage, because Garchen Rinpoche holds
multiple lineages, this Center supports and sponsors teachings from
other lineages. Rinpoche’s primary US center is located in Chino
Valley, Arizona, and we are a sister organization located near the
Nation’s Capital.
We are a new, small and informal group. The Center is
developing a mailing list and an e-mail list for keeping interested
individuals informed of scheduled events. We would be happy to add you
to our list and welcome whatever participation or support you might be
willing to lend. Experience not required!
