Karma Changchub Ling (KCCL)

KCCL is a Buddhist residential meditation center with a monastic core. It presently consists mostly of monastics: three fully ordained monastics and one novice. KCCL is interested in developing a community in which monastics and non-monastics equally complement, support and enrich each other within the framework of modern contemporary western culture. In this context, KCCL is building on what Trungpa Rinpoche called the “householder yogi path.”
