Lama Tzong Khapa Institute is happy to announce the visit of Khandro Tseringma Rinpoche from May 17 to 19, 2024.
Out good fortune begins with her teachings on the Union of Bodhicitta and Emptiness on May 17 and 18, which can be attended in person at Lama Tzong Khapa Institute.
Then, on the morning of Sunday May 19, Khandrola will confer the Tara Long Life Empowerment, practice from His Holiness the 5th Dalai Lama, which can only be attended in person.

Lama Tzong Khapa Institute strongly wishes to offer this event without charging a fee and is joyfully committed to taking care of everything associated with Khandrola’s visit.

Khandro-la is the State Medium of the Tenma Oracle (Tenma Goddesses are twelve guardian deities in Tibetan Buddhism). The title given to her by His Holiness the Dalai Lama is “Rangjung Neljorma” – self-generated dakini.
“His Holiness the Dalai Lama is the creator of happiness for all sentient beings,” said Lama Zopa Rinpoche “Khandro-la’s responsibility is to serve His Holiness. She came from Tibet to serve His Holiness. You know, without her I think we would probably experience a very difficult time.” Khandro-la faced incredible difficulties when she left Tibet, and becoming a refugee to try to meet His Holiness was a path with great obstacles. She is now a sought-after spokesperson around the world for her wisdom, compassion, light and love.
