The Essence of Mind Training: Radical Openheartedness as Transformation, Concluding with the Bodhisattva Vow
2026-08-28 - 2026-08-30 | KCC Portland Center, 4936 NE Skidmore Street, Portland, OR, 97218, United States
In person at KCC and over Zoom
Friday: 6:30–8:30pm
Saturday and Sunday: 10:00–12:00pm, 2:30–4:00pm, and 4:30–6:00pm
Kagyu Changchub Chuling is thrilled to announce that Drupon Khenpo Lodrö Namgyal has accepted our invitation to visit North America and will be teaching at KCC over two weekends to guide and inspire our Dharma practice. Each weekend of teaching will have its own distinct theme, and attendance can be for one or both of the weekends. The event will be translated by Lama Yeshe of Prajna Fire.
The genre of teachings known as Mind Training is considered the very essence of Mahayana Buddhism. Mind Training provides instructions and practices for realizing both the wisdom of ultimate bodhichitta and the compassion of relative bodhichitta. Mind Training’s many aphorisms provide us with various tools to utilize our everyday experiences as means to reduce our self-grasping tendencies and to increase our loving-kindness and compassion.
These teachings on relative bodhichitta are like a handbook for life between meditation sessions. Many students have discovered the profundity of these instructions and benefited deeply from their accessibility and practicality. The implementation of the Mind Training curriculum is critical to progressing along the Buddhist path and further allows us to be more skillful companions in our broader and more intimate communities.
To deepen our commitment to this path of wisdom and compassion, Drupon Khenpo will offer the opportunity to formally take the Bodhisattva Vow on the final afternoon of these teachings. In this ceremony, we affirm our aspiration to attain awakening for the benefit of all beings and pledge to engage in the practices that manifest it. It will serve as an auspicious conclusion to two special weekends of Dharma sharing! Those who do not wish to take the vow may still attend the ceremony.

Drupon Khenpo Lodrö Namgyal
“Drupon Khenpo” is actually two titles denoting his spiritual training. He first earned the title of khenpo after excelling in scholarship as part of the initial class of enrollees at Rumtek Monastery’s monastic college or shedra. He subsequently entered the traditional three-year retreat under the direction of Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche at Pullahari Monastery. Upon completion of these three years of meditation practice, he was appointed drupon or “retreat master” by Rinpoche. Thus, Drupon Khenpo’s teachings combine his vast scholarship with deep experience in meditation, both of which are enhanced by his joyous and humorous personality. Upon his retirement from leading annual classes and retreats for foreigners at Pullahari Monastery in Nepal, Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche appointed Drupon Khenpo as his successor, and he has been teaching in this capacity since 2005.

Children's Program
2026-08-23 09:00 - 11:00 | KCC Portland Center, 4936 NE Skidmore Street, Portland, OR, 97218, United States
Please note: The schedule for the Children’s Program has been adjusted through September. Please check the KCC calendar for upcoming dates.
The KCC Children’s Program is an opportunity to introduce children to Buddhist values within a supportive, sincere dharma community using simple dharma activities, storytelling, open discussion, songs, art projects and activities, including play, to promote kindness and compassion. Our goal is to provide a fun, meaningful experience for all.
Sunday Morning Children’s Program
On the second and fourth Sundays of each month, from 9:00 to 11:00 am, we offer the Sunday Morning Children’s Program. This program normally starts in September and runs through the second Sunday in June. In July and August we meet once a month on the fourth Sunday. We require that at least one parent or guardian be present at KCC when their child attends.
The age range we currently serve is 6 to 12; however, we do allow slightly younger and older children on a case by case basis as appropriate. Please feel free to discuss this with the program coordinator, Laurie Simpson, if needed. Email contact here.
While there is no fee for the program, dana (offerings) are accepted and go towards helping us continue providing programs such as these. In order to support the program on Sundays we ask that parents agree to be available to assist the teacher if needed – this is a shared role and can be filled by parents or other adults who wish to participate in this way. During the regular school year please note that we request you consider committing to bringing your child both Sundays each month throughout this time frame, but this is not required.
Also please be aware that, to attend this program, your child needs to be able to manage their speech and physical activity cooperatively in a small group to help maintain a peaceful children’s sangha. If this is a concern we ask that you attend with your child until they are comfortable with the group. Ultimately we want to be as inclusive as possible, but must also work to create a safe and welcoming environment for all attending.

Buddha Nature: Our Original Purity

In person at KCC and over Zoom
Friday: 6:30–8:30pm
Saturday and Sunday: 10:00–12:00pm, 2:30–4:00pm, and 4:30–6:00pm
Kagyu Changchub Chuling is thrilled to announce that Drupon Khenpo Lodrö Namgyal has accepted our invitation to visit North America and will be teaching at KCC over two weekends to guide and inspire our Dharma practice. Each weekend of teaching will have its own distinct theme, and attendance can be for one or both of the weekends. The event will be translated by Lama Yeshe of Prajna Fire.
The teachings on buddha nature tell us that the nature of the mind of all beings is exactly the same as the nature of mind that Buddha Shakyamuni discovered some 2,600 years ago. Upon his realization, the Buddha described his experience when proclaiming: “Profound, peaceful, beyond concepts, luminous, and uncompounded; I have discovered this nectar-like truth…”.
This means that our process of awakening is not about searching for something that exists outside of us. Awakening simply entails progressively removing the veils and misconceptions that keep us from directly experiencing our deepest, truest nature. All of the teachings of Buddhism are supports for priming our being to be more capable of seeing what we always have been.
