We are also creating a network of support for all levels of dharma practice, and collaborating with the variety of other initiatives by Chögyam Trungpa’s students furthering his teachings.

The Teachers

Our teachers bring an ocean of experience to their online classes. Most were trained by the Vidyadhara himself. Each has their own wealth of experience and knowledge, and their own approach towards working with the subject matter and with students. In addition, we are deeply honored that Changling Rinpoche has taught, and will continue to teach on Ocean.
