For more than a decade, Trungpa Rinpoche’s students have been joining together, outside of existing institutions, to offer his dharma tradition to new generations of practitioners. 

 

Students have organized Profound Treasury Retreats in Maine and Colorado for over a decade. Other groups created The Westchester Meditation Center, The Wisdom Seat, and the Ri-mé Society, which offer regular practice and study opportunities in the Westchester, Philadelphia and Boulder regions.

 

A group created The Chronicles of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche website, which celebrates Trungpa Rinpoche’s life and legacy, and offers community news, teachings, and the Ocean online learning platform for classes, practice and events.

​

​Students created The Chögyam Trungpa Digital Library that publishes hundreds of audio and video recordings of Chögyam Trungpa online, with captions and searchable transcripts.

 

People have organized classic Trungpa Rinpoche datuns in India, Nova Scotia and France. Vajrayana transmission has been given to many new tantrikas. A Vajrayogini abhisheka was organized in Halifax this May that introduced 150 tantrikas to sadhana practice, and a new three-year retreat is now underway at Gampo Abbey.

 

The Three-Yana Retreats grew out of this ethos: students coming together because they were inspired to make Trungpa Rinpoche’s deep study and practice training available to future generations of practitioners.
