What's Happening at DNKL

Geshe Dhargey teaches online Buddhism class for Tibetans

Geshe Dhargey teaches a weekly online class on Buddhism to a group of mostly Tibetans who are located in the United States, India, and elsewhere. The class provides instruction in Tibetan, with some English to explain details for those students who are not fluent in the language.

The class is open to anyone who is interested. For more information visit Online Buddhism Class on Facebook.

Visit to United Church of Christ, Congregational in Redding

Last year Geshe Dhargey answered questions during Second Hour Conversation which followed the Sunday morning worship service.

He was asked to answer questions, including:

  • What are the basic affirmations of the Buddhist faith traditon?
  • What differentiates Tibetan Buddhism from other Buddhist expressions?
  • How do you define "universal peace"?
  • Share with us your spiritual practices.
  • What is the mission of your retreat center in Redding?
  • How does it contribute to peace in our hearts and the world?
  • Who, typically, are the folks who avail themselves of the retreat center?

Read Geshe Dhargey's answers online or download as a PDF.

West Conn students paid a visit to DNKL

Students from WCSU joined Geshe Dhargey at DNKL for a discussion of Buddhism and a guided meditation, followed by a tour of the center and grounds.

Bethel High students came to DNKL

Last spring Bob Owen brought some of his students to DNKL. Following a very short overview of Tibetan Buddhist practices, students were led by Geshe Dhargey in a brief guided meditation followed by questions and answers.
