Guided Practice: Four Immeasurables: Loving-kindness, Compassion, Joy, and Equanimity

Stay tuned after the meditation for Comfortable with the Fluidity
of East-West, Tradition-Modernity,  Dungse-la’s interview
with ODA co-host Lama Karma Yeshe Chödrön.


DUNGSE JAMPAL NORBU is son and Dharma Heir of Dzigar Kongtrul
Rinpoche in the Mangala Shri Bhuti community. His mother is
Dharma teacher Elizabeth Mattis Namgyel.


Dungse la has lived and traveled extensively in Asia, but spent
much of his youth in Colorado. If you were to ask Dungse la how
long he has been studying the Buddhist path, he would say, “Since
I was born.”


When Dungse la was still an infant, Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse
Rinpoche instructed Kongtrul Rinpoche to train Dungse la to
uphold and continue Kongtrul Rinpoche’s lineage, particularly
that of Mangala Shri Bhuti.


With the foundation of his life-long guidance and education from
Kongtrul Rinpoche, Dungse la also teaches widely and engages in
an annual 100-day retreat at Longchen Jigme Samten Ling. Dungse
la’s anecdotal style and first-hand curiosity about how Buddhism
relates to actual experience imbue his teaching with a fresh
perspective, and reveal a natural wisdom and humor.
