Our Visions
The Karma Tekchen Zabsal
Ling of Toronto was founded by Lama Tashi Dondup in 2002. The
name of the Centre in Tibetan means "the skilful manifestation of the profound (Zab)
and the clear (Sal) Tantric/Vajrayana aspect of the Mahayana (Tekchen) Teaching".
Our Centre is currently starting at the
ground level. The Very Venerable
Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche is our Honorary President and Lama
Tashi Dondup serves as the Vice-President.
The goals of our Centre are to:
- Encourage the study and practice of Buddhism;
- Offer teaching and instruction on practices based on great
masters of the Kagyu Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism;
- Provide a place for taking refuge, and for developing and
strengthening our aspiration to live a meaningful life along the Buddhist path;
- Support projects undertaken by masters of the Kagyu Lineage
worldwide.
Our Centre offers regular
activities of Puja, meditation instructions and practice, and
Nyungne and Dharma Teachings. All activities are open to members and non-members, Buddhist
and non-Buddhists. A Refuge ceremony is offered for those who
wish to formally practice as Buddhists.
By becoming a member of Karma Tekchen
Zabsal Ling, you will actively support programs and projects
led by Lama Tashi Dondup. The Centre obtains its operating expenses primarily from its members and sponsors. Your donations will help the
Centre to fulfil its goals.

May the
precious bodhicitta take birth,
In those in whom it has not taken birth,
And where it has taken birth may it not degenerate,
But grow more and more. |
