About Lama Karma
Lama Karma was born in Bhutan of a
Nyingma/Drukpa Kagyu family. He joined a Drukpa
Kagyu monastery in Bhutan at age 7 and stayed until
he was 21. His training in ritual practices included
dance, instruments and chant, and he was the dance
and chant master for the monastery. In 1987, he
went to Nepal to study Dzogchen teachings with
Khenpo Rigdzin Dorje. He came to the United States
in 1996 and now lives in Boulder, Colorado, where he
established the Drukpa Mila Center, a center for
teaching in the Drukpa/Kagyu lineage, and owns a
shop in Boulder called Sacred World that sells
Bhutanese and other Asian textiles and handicrafts.
He works to support two monasteries in Bhutan that
came to him through his family.

About the Program
Lama Karma will perform two dances for us, a Guru
Rinpoche dance and a 16 Offering Goddesses dance.
The performance will be preceded by a short talk on
the dances and followed by a brief question and
answer session. The whole program will last about an
hour and a half.
There is short video of Lama Karma
dancing here.

There is no charge for this event, but we are asking
everyone who can make a donation to do so in order
that we can make an offering to Lama Karma. Lama
Karma will join us for dinner in the dining room
afterward. He is very excited to be able to have a
program at the Institute.
Please share this
message with any of your family and friends who
might be interested.
Love,
