Continuing the Dharma activities of Kyabje Bokar Rinpoche

For over a decade, Kyabje Bokar Rinpoche and Khenpo Lodro Donyo Rinpoche conducted a retreat covering the complete stages of the path of Mahamudra according to the Karma Kagyu Lineage. Bokar Rinpoche, the Dharma heir of Kalu Rinpoche and holder of the Shangpa Kagyu Lineage, formulated this retreat seminar and an accompanying year-long program of meditation practice to meet the needs of lay practitioners of Buddhism.

In 2008 Khenpo Lodro Donyo Rinpoche presented the teachings of the Yidam Seminar for the first time since Kyabje Bokar Rinpoche’s passing in 2004..

For those not familiar with the Mahamudra Program, these seminars were established by Bokar Rinpoche to provide a graduated path of meditation training for lay practitioners, especially foreign students of Bokar Rinpoche. In response to numerous requests from the international students of Kyabje Bokar Rinpoche, and with the blessing and strong encouragement of His Holiness Karmapa, Khenpo Rinpoche led the Mahamudra retreat beginning in 2007. Thus the Dharma activity and legacy of Kyabje Bokar Rinpoche is continuing.
