Dorje Ling (also known as Portland Yeshe Nyingpo), 3200 N.W. Skyline Blvd., Portland, Oregon, has regular meditation practice every Sunday, 11 a.m.  Our basic meditation practice is comprised of a Ngondro (Tibetan for "foundational") that has various Vajrayana components as well as silent meditation periods and mantra recitation.  It is conducted in a friendly, informal manner and open to people at all levels of practice.  On Tuesday, 7 p.m.,there is a meditation class.  On Wednesday, 7 p.m., there is a Buddhism study group.  Both can be participated in at any time.  There are no charges, fees or costs in attending and guidance is available to those unfamiliar with the practice.  Support, in any form, is very welcomed, of course!

According to the Tibetan lunar calendar, there are special days of practice, called tsog or tsok celebrations, 5 days before full and new moon (the 10th and 25th lunar day of the lunar month or about 5 days prior to new and full moons).  These practices usually occur in the evening of those days.   For example, in February, Monday, the 8th and Wednesday, the 24th, we have evening practices for Dakini Yeshe Tsogyal and Guru Rinpoche.   Food offerings are suggested and these are shared during the practice.  Please feel free to contact us for details and updates.

There is a retreat cabin located in the woods below the temple.  It can be reserved for people who wish to have solitude for extended practice.  Trails lead from the cabin into Forest Park.  It is quiet, simple and serene.

At various times, lamas, senior dharma students and monastics will offer teachings.  Everyone is welcome to attend.  For more intensive practices, retreats and teachings, we have the Tashi Choling Center in Ashland, OR, where Ven. Gyatrul Rinpoche and other teachers reside.  There is a regular schedule of retreats and events.  Recently, we've had teachings and empowerments with Ven. Gyatrul Rinpoche, H.H. Getse Rinpoche, Lingtrul Rinpoche, Lama Rinchen and others.

We have recently built an Enlightenment Stupa, behind the temple, overlooking Portland, surrounded by gardens.  Everyone is welcome to visit and circumambulate the stupa which generates enormous positive karma and benefits the entire environment!
