History

Established in 2006.

Katog Tingzin Ling & all affeliate centers of Katog Choling USA started when Khentrul Rinpoche came to the United States in September of 2002, at the invitation of His Eminence Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche, who requested that he start a program for studying Tibetan Buddhist philosophy and meditation in a traditional way (known as a shedra). This shedra program consists of profound, authentic teachings and continues to take place in the fall of each year. Khentrul Rinpoche has established his own non-​profit organization, Katog Choling, to support dharma activity in the West. He has also created a serene retreat center in Arkansas called Katog Choling Rit’hröd (Rit’hröd means mountain retreat center). He travels constantly around the United States and other countries, visiting dharma practice groups. He teaches tirelessly and shares his knowledge in order to support his many students in their pursuit of dharma. For his teaching and travel calendar please check the events schedule.

Khentrul Lodro Taye Rinpoche studied dharma intensively for over 30 years at the feet of his teachers in Mardo Tashi Choling & Katog monasteries in eastern Tibet, His Holiness Khenpo Jigme Phuntsok’s Serthar Buddhist Institute in Kardze, Tibet, & His Holiness Penor Rinpoche’s monastery Namdroling in India. Acknowledged as a scholar of the highest level, he thrice received the title of Khenpo (equivalent to a Dr of Philosophy), making him a triple Khenpo. He has also been recognized by His Holiness Katog Moksa Rinpoche as a tulku (a reincarnate master) of Drubtop Namkha Gyamtso of Katog Monastery. He was enthroned in the mother monastery of Katog by HH Moksa among many lamas, khenpos, & monks.

Hence, the name «Khentrul» denotes one who is both a khenpo & a tulku. In addition to having completed over 3 years of retreat, he has received the entire Nyingt’hig lineage (including Nyingt’hig Yabzhi, Dzod Dun, Ngalso Khorsum, Yeshe Lama, & Chetzun Nyingt’hig), as well as many empowerments.
