Spiritual Director: H.E. Kyabje Dorzong Rinpoche
Notes and Events:
Dorzong Monastic Institute (DMI), JANGCHUB JONG, - under the direction of The Eighth Kyabje Dorzong Rinpoche - is located near Gopalpur village in the Valley of Kangra, 20 km from the city of Dharamshala in Northern India, in an extremely beautiful area covered with cedar forests, at the foot of the Dhauladhar mountain range.
The unequalled Buddha Shakyamuni, through his undiscriminating loving kindness and compassion towards all sentient beings, gave many teachings according to each of their abilities in order to find peace and enlightenment. To preserve Buddhism in general and the Drukpa Kagyu Linage in particular as well as to keep its unique tradition alive, for the sake of all sentient beings, The Eighth Kyabje Dorzong Rinpoche decided to create the Dorzong Monastic Institute.
DMI helps interested students of the Himalayan border hill areas like Zangskar, Lahoul-Spiti, Kinnour, etc. , as well as Tibetans residing in India, to study and practice Buddha Dharma, the tradition of their ancestors. The DMI will give seminars and lectures on Buddhist teachings and it will provide Dharma activities, such as Dharma book publications, translation of Buddhist teachings and publishing of rare important Buddhist texts translations; as well as teaching Ethics, Art and Tibetan language. It will also hold Buddhist Festivals, Pujas and Ceremonies. Furthermore, DMI will provide medical aid to the needy local population.
In this way, The Eighth Kyabje Dorzong Rinpoche hopes that the Buddhist doctrine will flourish like fresh beauty in spring and that it will remain so forever.

Notes and Events:
The seed of Buddhism in Arunachal Pradesh, India was sown in the 8th Century, by Padmasambhava, who was responsible for preaching the teachings of Buddha and invoking the tenets of Buddhism in the state. However, with the advent of other religions and the subsequent fragmentation of the traditional Arunachali society into various tribal and religious groups, Buddhism, with the passage of time, has been largely confined to the districts of Tawang, East Kameng, West Kameng, Upper Siang, Dibang Valley, Lohit and Changlang. Arunachal Pradesh, India as per the census of 2001, has the total number of Buddhist population is 1,43,028 which are 13.03% among its total population [Arunachal Pradesh: 2001] of 10,98,000. It can be attested by dozens of Mahāyan Vajrayan Buddhist art and architecture in the western part of Arunachal betraying the influence from Tibet. The famous Tawang Monastery is the best product of Mahayana Buddhist art and architecture of the state. It is second largest monastery in Asia. Even prior to the advent of modern education, the Buddhist monasteries played an important role in imparting knowledge and basic social wisdom. The monasteries used to play an active role in social, economic, religious life of the people.
Arunachal Pradesh, India is fortunate enough to have a rich Buddhist cultural heritage. Here Buddhism is a living religion. The migration of Khamtis brought the religion to the eastern part of Arunachal Pradesh. The Singphos and Tai Tikhaks sub-tribes of Tangsas later adopted Buddhism. The Buddhist tribes of eastern Arunachal Pradesh, India profess Therāvad Buddhism which, they said to have brought from Myanmar. With the coming of the Monpas, Sherdukpens, Membas, Khambas and other Mahayana tribes to the western and central part of Arunachal, Mahāyan Buddhism was introduced in this area.

Notes and Events:
The Drukpa Kargyud lineage originated in the 11th century A.D. as a subdivision of the Kagyud tradition. The unique teachings transmitted through the Kagyud realization lineage are distinguished as the "Six Yogas of Naropa" and the oral pith-instructions of Mahamudra. Supplementing these teachings, the Drukpa Kargyud school also offers special meditative instructions known as "The Six Equal Tastes" and "The Seven Auspicious Teachings". The lineage descends directly through the enlightened masters -- Tilopa, Naropa, Marpa, Milarepa, Gampopa, Phagmo Drupa and Lingchen Repa. Lingchen Repa Pema Dorje, famed as the Saraha (a revered tantric sage) of Tibet popular for his psychic power, was the spiritual teacher and guide of the 1st Gyalwang Drukpa, Tsangpa Gyare Yeshe Dorje. The Gyalwang Drukpas are revered primarily as incarnate embodiments of Arya Avalokiteshvara (i.e. Chenrezig in Tibetan or Kuan Yin in Chinese) and Mahasiddha Naropa. The present Gyalwang Drukpa, Jigme Pema Wangchen, is the recognized 12th incarnation.

Spiritual Director: Chogyal Namkhai Norbu
Notes and Events:
Dzogchen is an ancient spiritual teaching developed in Tibet within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. It does not belong to a school or religious system. Rather, it is the knowledge that Tibetan masters have transmitted without being limited by sectarianism. The word Dzogchen, meaning total perfection, actually refers to the true inherent nature of all beings, their primordial state, which is free from all limitations and conditioning. The masters transmission of this state of knowledge lies at the very heart of the Dzogchen teachings.
The Dzogchen tradition has been passed from master to student in an unbroken lineage over the centuries, right up to the present day. Due to its direct and unelaborate approach, it transcends cultural boundaries making it accessible to all nationalities alike regardless of their spiritual background.
The Dzogchen teachings are divided in three series: Semde, Longde and Mennagde. The three series are three ways of presenting the teaching, each with its corresponding methods of practice; the aim of all three, however, is to lead the practitioner to final realization.
In Semde, the mind series, the practitioner is introduced to the nature of mind in order to have a actual experience of it.
Longde means the space series: in this instance space refers to the primordial dimension of emptiness which serves as a base for manifesting the clarity of the practitioner, and for developing their understanding.
Mennagde, the essential series of secret instructions or Upadesha, comprises special teachings and methods based on the experiences of masters, with the aim of helping the practitioner progress up to complete realization.
