In 1988, a vast and splendid piece of land was acquired in Northern California and Chagdud Rinpoche named it Rigdzin Ling, "the abode of the Awakened State Holders", which became the seat of the Chagdud Gonpa Foundation. The place was consecrated by great ceremonies, numerous offerings and aspiration prayers.
In addition to providing public teachings and retreats, Rigzin Ling is home to Padma Publishing, and Tibetan Treasures. Padma Publishing is the editorial arm of the Foundation, which publishes sadanas (liturgies), translated books and a compilation of teachings that serve as meditation manuals. Tibetan Treasures, Chagdud Gonpa's store, distributes Padma Publishing books, other Dharma books and offers articles of practice.
To maintain our commitment to the Green Tara practice revealed by His Eminence Chagdud Rinpoche, Rigdzin Ling offers a monthly Green Tara tsok.
Vajrasattva meditation practice purifies the subtle mental and emotional habits that obscure our free, compassionate and open nature. Livestream and in-person.
Rigdzin Ling sangha will be offering Guru Rinpoche tsok using the ‘Shower of Blessings’ sadhana by Mipham Rinpoche. No empowerment is required for this short an
