Karma Thegsum Choling, the Buddhist meditation center
of Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, presents the Tibetan
Lama, the Venerable Khenpo Karthar,Rinpoche, who
will give a series of public talks and instructions
in Durham and Greenville beginning Nov. 15.
Khenpo Karthar,Rinpoche, is abbot of the Karma
Triyana Dharmachakra monastery at Woodstock, New York.
Born in Eastern Tibet in 1925, he received intensive
training in meditation practice before leaving Tibet
in 1959. Subsequently he was instructed by the XVI
Gyalwa Karmapa (head of the Kagyu division of Tibetan
Buddhism) to establish several study centers in
North America. His character is seen as an
exemplification of Dharma teachings and their benefits,

difficult philosophical concepts directly to everyday
life.
