We invite you to hear poignant responses to lingering questions, get clarification on a range of Dharma topics, find out about best practices, and broaden your understanding of your meditative experiences. What is the benefit of this Q & A virtual series?

Rinpoche writes: “It will create better bonds between the teacher and the student. Communication between the master and the student is important to practicing clean and clear dharma. A “Questions and Answers” retreat will provide new practitioners with basic knowledge and clarify the doubts of those who have been practicing for years. Everyone’s understanding of the Dharma will increase.”

Adzom Gyalse Rinpoche has a direct, unbroken lineage back to Longchenpa. He was recognized by Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche as the tulku of the great Gyurme Dorje, the eldest son of Adzom Drukpa. Adzom Drukpa Rinpoche achieved the Rainbow Body in 1925 and many of his disciples also accomplished the Rainbow Body.

At an early age Adzom Gyalse Rinpoche began receiving teachings, transmissions and empowerments from many eminent masters including HE Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche, Lama Serpo Rinpoche, HH Dalai Lama, HH Trulshik Rinpoche and HH Penor Rinpoche, and HH Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche was Adzom Gyalse Rinpoche’s root guru.
