May all beings have happiness and the causes of happiness,

May all beings be free of suffering and the causes of suffering,

May the precious bodhichitta (Intent to Enlightenment), wherever it has arisen, continuously increase.

May all beings achieve Enlightenment!

until then may I too abide, to dispel the misery of the world."

Palyul Changchub Dargyeling Dallas

PCD Dallas is a non-profit religious group and is currently seeking official non-profit

 status.  We do give receipts for donations but are not yet a 501c3 organization. 

Anyone with experience in 501c3 paperwork is very much welcomed to assist us!

Students of Khenchen Tsewang Gyatso Rinpoche and His Holiness Penor Rinpoche 

have been established in Dallas since 1998. Our dream and goal is to achieve the funding 

to establish a resident Palyul lama in Dallas and to build or retain a permanent space for our center. 

A resident Palyul lama in Dallas would be an enormous benefit not only

for Buddhist students in Dallas - but for the entire region! 

 Palyul Changchub Dargyeling Buddhist study centers are in the Tibetan Buddhist Nyingma

 tradition, Palyul lineage, founded by His Holiness Penor Rinpoche (www.palyul.org), 

and under the direction of Khenchen Tsewang Gyatso Rinpoche 

and with the direction and blessings of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. 

The PCD Dallas course of study is directed by Khenchen Tsewang Gyatso Rinpoche.

PCD Dallas study programs are designed to be in harmony with the courses of study at the

 Palyul Ling Retreat center in NY (see Summer Retreat, below); which are administered by

 His Holiness Penor Rinpoche. The Palyul Ling Summer Retreat study program/curriculum 

is directed by His Holiness Penor Rinpoche and is based on the traditional teaching and

study program at the main Palyul monastery in exile: 

Namdroling Monastery in Bylakuppe, India.

Our goal is to make the teachings of Buddha available to all who wish to follow them. 

And also to make available to Western students: authentic and accurate

teachings from the Palyul lineage of the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism given by

highly trained and qualified teachers of impeccable academic soundness and quality.

Khenchen (Head Professor) Tsewang Gyatso Rinpoche the spiritual director of Palyul Changchub Dargyeling Meditation 

and Study Centers in the United States. Khenchen Tsewang Gyatso Rinpoche is the representative of 

His Holiness Penor Rinpoche in the US. He is an authentic and qualified teacher, a recognized scholar and 

accomplished Dzogchen master. His Holiness Penor Rinpoche (founder and head of Namdroling Monastery, 

Bylakuppe, India, see www.palyul.org) has authorized Khenchen Tsewang Gyatso Rinpoche to represent 

Namdroling Monastery and to teach, confer empowerments and to give personal instruction in Buddhist practice. 

Khenchen Rinpoche is also one of the three senior Khenpos (Professors) at Ngagyur Institute at Namdroling Monastery

in India; where he is responsible for the last three years of the nine year training for Buddhist shedra 

(seminary: lama training) students.  

Khenchen Rinpoche has been teaching in West for over 20 years; and his fluent English, sense of humor and deep insight 

into Western culture make him a reputable and popular teacher. He graduated at the top of all four traditions of 

Tibetan Buddhism in shedra (seminary school) and was awarded the Silver Medal 

for academic accomplishment by His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

Khenchen Tsewang Gyatso Rinpoche has been our best-kept 'secret' in the US! His ability to simply and easily explain 

and teach even the most complicated concepts in a very condensed form has led to his teaching commitments growing

 expotentially beyond the US. This year, he is traveling and teaching in India, Singapore, 

Taiwan, the Philippines, Germany and Australia, as well as the US.

Khenchen Tsewang Gyatso Rinpoche has received all of the major lineage empowerments and transmissions of the

  Nyingma school and Palyul lineage and has done intensive dzogchen practice under the guidance of

 His Holiness Penor Rinpoche and other eminent dzogchen masters including Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, 

Khenpo Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche, Khenchen Palden Sherab Rinpoche, Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche 

and Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche.

Palyul Changchub Dargyeling Dallas is honored to have Khenchen Rinpoche as Spiritual Director.
