| About the Dharma Ocean Foundation
| | |
|
The Dharma Ocean Foundation was founded to preserve, transmit and extend the Dharma teachings of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, one of the pre-eminent practitioners, teachers and scholars of the Tibetan meditation tradition. The Foundation creates and supports educational materials, programs, seminars and meditation retreats in which participants can study and practice the teachings of the Kagyu and Nyingma traditions of Tibetan meditation, particularly as they were presented by Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche.
As part of its mission to transmit the teachings of Tibetan meditation and Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, the Foundation will also establish a:
- long term retreat center that will support solitary and small group retreat practices in the Kagyu and Nyingma tradition.
- research institute to support scholarly and traditional research and commentary on the vast body of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche’s written, audio and video work as a meditation teacher, artist, poet and scholar.
- registry for holders of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche’s lineage who wish to develop programs, seminars and meditation retreats based on particular aspects of Chögyam Trungpa’s teachings such as Buddhist philosophy, art, meditation practice or psychology.
- series of scholarship funds that enable qualified retreatants to attend programs and retreats that they could not otherwise afford.
- means for communities, conferences and gatherings to come together and explore the complementary nature and unique values of Tibetan Buddhism, world religions and indigenous traditions.

Foundation. The members of Dhyanasangha study and practice the
Buddhadharma of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche under the guidance of Dr.
Reginald A. and Mrs. Lee Ray, both long time students of Chögyam
Trungpa Rinpoche and teachers in his lineage. The community meets on a
regular basis to practice in the Kagyu and Nyingma meditation
traditions, study the key texts of Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism and
deepen their understanding of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche’s Buddhadharma
as it is presented by Dr. and Mrs. Ray.
Dhyanasangha members are householder yogis and yoginis living in the
United States, Canada, Europe, South America and Asia. The community
meets several times a year in Crestone or Boulder, Colorado and in
