Support Our Mission
The Namgyal Yangzab Buddhist Community of Canada (NYBCC) and Lama Chokyi Gyaltsen, who upholds these lineages, bring the profound wisdom of the many Rime Dharma transmissions and instructions given by Karma Dorje Namgyal Rinpoche to his students and the profound transmission lineages of the Drikung Dzogchen (Gongpa Yangzab), including a vast body of Dharma by Orgyen Nuden Dorje to a broader audience. Your support is not just a donation; it’s a vital partnership in our compassionate mission, fostering the lineages carried by our Teachers.
How Your Contribution Makes a Difference
Visiting Teachers Fund
Your generous donations have enabled several visits from our esteemed teachers, Lho Ratna Rinpoche and Kyabje Lho Ontul Rinpoche, providing our community with invaluable teachings and experiences. These funds support visa processes, international travel, and accommodations, allowing us to continue hosting these vital spiritual events.
Translation Fund
Support our efforts to translate sacred texts such as Orgyen Nuden Dorje and Drikung Yangzab into English. In 2018, H.Em. Lho Bongtrul Rinpoche, Kyabje Ontul Rinpoche and Lho Ratna Rinpoche gifted Lama Gyaltsen with the complete Drikung Yangzab cycle of Dzogchen treasures by Jigten Sumgon, and the collected works of Orgyen Nuden Dorje – 31 volumes in all. The translations of these texts play a crucial role in Lama Gyaltsen’s commitment to making these profound teachings accessible to a broader audience, thereby illuminating lives for generations to come.
Bursary Fund
Help make Dharma teachings accessible to everyone. Your contributions provide financial aid to students, allowing them to immerse in Buddhist teachings regardless of their economic background. “I’ve been studying buddhadharma for years, but it was my retreat at the Dharma Centre of Canada that truly opened my heart. The NYBCC Practitioner Support Fund allowed me to engage with an authentic Tibetan lineage, profoundly impacting my life and practice.”— Colin.
