Lineage
The main practice in our centers is loving kindness, compassion and wisdom, which are the essentials of Buddhism. Our lineage is Buddhism, which means we should learn and practice whatever the Buddha taught.
The best is to practice non-sectarian, all schools of Buddhism. We especially follow the footsteps of Jamgon Kongthrul Lodro Thaye, Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo and Terchen Chokgyur Dechen Lingpa.
Our special lineage is Kagyu and Nyingma, therefore our main monastery in Kathmandu, Nepal is called ‘Ka-Nying’.
– Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche
