We’re honored to welcome Chagdud Khadro to Rigdzin Ling — August 11–17

Chagdud Khadro met His Eminence Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche in 1978, becoming his wife and student in 1979. In 1997, he ordained her as a lama and named her his spiritual successor in Brazil. Since his Parinirvana in 2002, she has carried his legacy forward — offering teachings across the Americas, Europe, and Australia, overseeing the construction of a Zangdog Palri, and maintaining the integrity of rigorous Vajrayana training.

While at Rigdzin Ling, Khadro will join staff, sangha members, and volunteers in daily activity, pujas, and the ongoing beautification of the land, offering her wisdom as both a teacher and devoted student of Chagdud Rinpoche. We warmly invite you to take part in the following events:

Red Tara Tsok — Commemorating the Birthday of Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche

Tuesday, August 12 at 4:00 PM (in-person and on Zoom)

Please join us for a special Red Tara tsok presided over by Chagdud Khadro, honoring the birthday of H.E. Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche. The tsok will be held in person and streamed live via Zoom.
