Lhundup Ling - Ngakpa Hermitage
The Vision
Out of his pure motivation, His Eminence Ontül Rinpoche, (most accomplished Dzogchen master) has generously decided to offer a small piece of land as a place where aspiring practitioners can live together in a small, supportive and harmonious community to engage in the practice of the Vajrayana.
Situated about halfway up to the caves above the lotus lake in Tso Pema, surrounded by a serene setting of hilltop pine forests, and the breathtaking Himalayas. It is said that the benefits of Dharma practice in this holy place is infinitely greater and more powerful. All the great teachers recommend that aspiring practitioners should practice in places that already have great blessing, as this will naturally help one to progress along the path toward enlightenment. Thus it is a very rare and special privilege to be able to have an opportunity to practice in such an auspicious setting, under the guidance of a qualified, authentic master.
How you can help
It is difficult to estimate how much money is needed towards this project but we estimate that $50,000 would be enough to give it the cash injection that is needed to help develop a conducive practice environment.
If you would like to contribute in any way, either financially, materially or by volunteering your time and skills, please fill in our on-line donation form, or send us an e-mail to drikung_petsek@yahoo.com.
May our practice unite right motivation with action that encompasses all without bias. May all beings be happy!

• Lhundup Ling in English means "Place of Spontaneous Accomplishment" • A Ngakpa is a mantrika (tantric practitioner) who has received the samayas from a qualified master and generally trains to become a yogi practising in solitude or can also be a householder practising within the community. Basically it implies that one has committed oneself full time to the practice of the Buddha Dharma.
