Green College Special Event

The Dharma Fellowship of His Holiness the Gyalwang Karmapa and Green College, UBC invite Dza Kilung Rinpoche for a Dharma teaching introducing themes of his new book The Relaxed Mind. The Relaxed Mind contains instructions for the seven-phase meditation practice Dza Kilung Rinpoche developed for students in the West.

H.E. Dza Kilung Tulku Jigme Rinpoche is the fifth reincarnation of H.H. Jigme Ngotsar Gyatso, the enlightened yogi who built Kilung Monastery in the 18th century. Jigme Ngotsar was important in his lineage line: he was one of the renowned “Four Jigmes,” principal disciples of Rigdzin Jigme Lingpa, the most important Nyingma teacher of the last 600 years. Rigdzin Jigme Lingpa sent Jigme Ngotsar back to his home territory of Dzachuka to build a monastery. With the patronage of the King of Derge, Jigme Ngotsar, as the royal family’s chief spiritual advisor and lama, raised a great monastery. This included a main temple (still standing), thriving monastic college with several hundred monks, separate center for long-term retreat, and a nearby nunnery (https://www.kilung.org/about-kilung-rinpoche/).
