Major Programs

Each summer, Kongtrul Rinpoche offers the comprehensive Nyingma Summer Seminar, a nine-day program open to the public which includes teachings from all three yanas (vehicles) of Tibetan Buddhism: Hinayana, Mahayana, and Vajrayana.

The MSB Shedra, held here in the Fall, is a program modeled on Tibet’s monastic educational tradition, and provides students with an in-depth exploration of classical Buddhist texts.

Two annual Drupchos are held at Phuntsok Choling for Sangha members. Learn about the Dechen Gyalmo Drupcho and the Rigdzin Dupa Drupcho.

Rinpoche’s dharma heir Dungse Jampal Norbu and Elizabeth Mattis Namgyel also offer regular teaching programs at the Center.
