The Gampo Abbey Monastic Society was established in order to:
-
foster and support a Buddhist monastic community dedicated to the founding vision of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche
-
assist with and support the operation of a monastery to sustain this monastic community
-
espouse, practice, and preserve the braided lineage of teachings Trungpa Rinpoche presented for the purpose of maintaining, training and educating Buddhist nuns, monks and laypersons.
Our two current projects:
