Abbot: H.E. Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche, Lodro Chokyi Nyima
-
"Arisen through the great bodhisattva’s presence,
Pullahari is secluded and pleasant;
A place where an ocean of yidams, dakinis
and protectors gather like clouds."
This is how the Very Ven. Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche described Pullahari in Nepal, the main seat of the Jamgon Kongtruls. It is founded by the Third Jamgon Kongtrul, whose sacred body relic is enshrined in the golden stupa there. Today, H.E. the Fourth Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche, Karma Lodro Chokyi Nyima, is now the chief abbot.
Pullahari, situated in the foothills overlooking the sacred valley of the great stupa of Boudhanath is a place of Dharma, especially of the Karma Kagyu lineage of the Gyalwa Karmapas.
A place of beautiful gardens, it has an atmosphere of openness that is inspirational to deeper understanding and appreciation of the Dharma through study and practice. The stupa of the Third Jamgon Kongtrul imbues the place with loving warmth and wondrous blessings.
At Pullahari, the age-old traditions of Karma Kagyu rituals and practice in the monastery and the Mahamudra retreat centre continue side by side with teachings and instructions to Buddhists from all over the world at the Rigpe Dorje Institute. Each year, the students arrive to attend teachings on the view and meditation offered at the Rigpe Dorje programs guided by the Very Ven. Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche since 1993.
The facilities for lay study and retreat at the Rigpe Dorje Institute are open throughout the year. Basic necessities and meals are provided. Retreatants may arrange to meet qualified lamas for guidance. To reserve a room, please write to:
