Tsechen Kunchab Ling
Since its establishment in 2001 as the Seat of the Sakya Dolma Phodrang in the Americas, Tsechen Kunchab Ling Temple in Walden, New York has made it a priority to translate, publish, and distribute the teachings and texts of the Sakya masters in English. The goal of the publications program is to make these precious texts available for study for contemporary students and future generations.

Dharma Text Distribution
Contemporary masters such as His Holiness the 41st Sakya Trichen, Venerable Dezhung Rinpoche, and others have given numerous Dharma teachings in the West, sharing both their knowledge and wisdom with the world. However, very few of these teachings have been printed or published as books. To address this, Tsechen Kunchab Ling continues its efforts to disseminate these precious teachings to students from around the world.
Contributions like yours have allowed Sachen Foundation to award Tsechen Kunchab Ling funding to help format and edit two wonderful Dharma texts to be made available to students like you. Read the synopses below for more information of these forthcoming texts.

Conversations with His Holiness the 41st Sakya Trichen
This book of warm and wonderful memories and advice from His Holiness the 41st Sakya Trichen compiles interviews and photographs spanning nearly 50 years on a wide range of topics including His Holiness' youth, his gurus, the path, Vajrayana, daily life, and the ultimate.

Dezhung Lungrik Tulku: Drops from an Ocean of Dharma
Dezhung Rinpoche devoted the last part of his illustrious life to the establishment of the Sakyapa Dharma in the United States. Although he was famous for his detailed and precise teachings few of these have been preserved in print. This book transcribes twelve of his teachings on a variety of topics including non-sectarianism, the bardo, meditation, and the ultimate view.

These books are currently in the editing process. To be informed when they are printed and available for distribution, sign up for email alerts from Tsechen Kunchab Ling >> click here.
