In-Depth Teachings

This new samye.org site was created in March 2000. This Teachings areas will gradually develop into a separate on-line dharma college (www.khenpo.org), with its own resources based upon teachings given by the fine Kagyu masters who have taught at Kagyu Samye Ling. It will also offer links to other major Kagyu organisations. The emphasis of the content will be on quality, following the line always taken in our centres to only present teachings which come from the best authentic masters of our living Kagyu lineage.

At present, while this area is under construction, we invite you to explore teachings on sites of other Kagyu centres.

Sets of teachings by HH 16th Gyalwa Karmapa, Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche, the 12th Tai Situpa, Khenpo Khatar and other leading Kagyu masters on the following topics, on Karma Triyana Dharmachakra site
