Namgyal Legacy

An online archive of video events featuring teachers and community leaders fortunate enough to have received direct teaching and inspiration from Namgyal Rinpoche. Offering widely different expressions of dharma in addressing contemporary themes, our elders are the Namgyal Legacy, and demonstrate the multifaceted, universalist basis of his transmission.

Namgyal Rinpoche was the founding energy behind the Wangapeka Study and Retreat Centre and many other centres around the world.

He showed us a path of dharma, an immense mandala of bodhisattva activity, that was open and willing to explore every facet of life. Outwardly eclectic in expression, there was nothing that didn’t have a place in this vast vehicle of Buddhadharma.

These offerings are by many of his students who are currently teaching or working in their communities. They are being gathered to inspire those who will only meet Rinpoche through the lenses of those who were directly touched by him.
