Under the guidance of Gyumed Khensur Rinpoche Lobsang Jampa, Do Ngak Kunphen Ling draws on the spiritual tradition of His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama to achieve the following goals:
|
|
• Conduct classes on Buddhist philosophy and meditation on a regular basis. Classes are open to people of all religious traditions and to those with no particular religious affiliation.
• Offer systematic and graduated levels of training based on the tradition of Buddhist Sutra and Tantra that enjoys an unbroken lineage of transmission from the time of Shakyamuni Buddha.
• Conduct short and long-term retreats and facilitate solitary retreats.
• Host public talks, spiritual festivals, and other community and family events.
• Engage in humanitarian activities such as helping Tibetan monks and children with basic education and health needs.
• Establish a small Buddhist Monastery and Learning Center.
