Khandroling |  | |
The sacred land in Buckland known as Khandroling (meaning "the land of Dakinis"), was purchased by the Dzogchen Community in 1989. Through the clarity of his dreams, Chögyal Namkhai Norbu received many teachings there, including the Dance of the Vajra. According to Rinpoche, in six days of practice on this powerful land it is possible to realize what would take six months elsewhere.
The development of Khandroling is ongoing. Comprised of 220 acres of hills, streams, a pond, meadows, fields and forest, Khandroling offers members several personal retreat cabins, a stupa, and a bathhouse for retreatants and campers. The land also hosts the world's first Universal Mandala for Vajra Dance. A small farmhouse was recently completed on lower Khandroling for Rinpoche and his family and community use.
For directions to Khandroling, retreat cabin fees, and other practical information, please contact the Gekö.
The following retreat cabins are available for personal retreat on upper Khandroling from Spring through late fall before the snow falls:
Rinpoche's cabin (For summer 2012 - May 31 thru Sept 1) will be used for summer programs with limited personal retreat use
Mandarava cabin
Thodgal cabin
Guardian cabin
Khandroling facilities include:
Potable water
Bathhouse with two showers and flush toilets
Kitchen with gas powered refrigeration and cooking stove
portable potties and outdoor showers for campers
Use of the Dark Retreat cabin is year-round with four rooms available. There is also a room downstairs for "light" personal retreat year-round. With prior arrangement, food can be delivered daily for a minimal fee.
