Fulfilling the Vision of His Holiness Gyalwang Karmapa and Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche

This week’s featured video was filmed in the main shrine room at KTC’s “home” monastery, Karma Triyana Dharmachakra in Woodstock, NY.  This monastery is the seat of His Holiness the Gyalwang Karmapa in the United States, founded in the 1970s by our own KTC Founder, Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche.


In the beautiful KTD shrine room, Khenpo Ugyen Tenzin, a scholar and meditation master sent to KTD more than a decade ago by His Holiness the 17th Karmapa, explains his connection with the KTC Rebuilding Project and his wishes for the new temple’s completion. He also explains the benefits of creating a Buddhist temple to bring beings the methods of dharma to free their minds from suffering.


He is assisted by Khenpo Sangye Trinley, another scholar and dharma master residing at KTD Monastery, who is acting as interpreter for Khenpo Ugyen Tenzin.
