A one-on-one meeting with a Lama can be helpful to address questions about practice and Dharma study.
Lama Eric became KCC’s resident lama in January 2020. However, Eric first came to KCC not long after graduating from college and quickly immersed himself in the center’s activities. He served as Board president for four years and was the first caretaker of our retreat land, Ser Chö Ösel Ling. In 2002, he moved to India to study Tibetan language and practice with Kyabje Bokar Rinpoche. He requested and was finally granted permission to participate in a traditional Shangpa three-year retreat at Bokar Monastery, which he completed in 2008. Following retreat, Lama Eric translated for Khenpo Lodrö Donyö Rinpoche, Gyaltsab Rinpoche, and others and eventually served as an English teacher for the reincarnation of his teacher, Bokar Rinpoche.
Email Lama Kathleen to schedule a meeting.
Kathleen came to KCC in 1993 searching for tools to help her through a mid-life crisis. She did her first 3-day retreat on her 50th birthday, and from there began to nurture an aspiration to do a long retreat.
She volunteered at KCC for 20 years, including the Board, Bookkeeping, and the Children’s Program.
In 2015, shortly after her 70th birthday, she entered the Three Year Retreat at SCOL. She finished Retreat in 2018 and has been working to process that experience ever since.
