Volunteers will have an opportunity to learn Tibetan architecture. All forms of help are appreciated to bring the designs into reality. Also being considered is an extensive library where the Khenpos can work with students, collaborating scholars, and translators in making more teachings available to the western world. The Khenpos' plans for the land include designs for a temple, a stupa and the bSam-yas mandala and meditation gardens.
Prayer flags were raised and Khenchen Palden gave terma lineage teachings originally revealed by Tsa-sum Lingpa. This past summer a group of seventy students representing most of the practice centers gathered at Padma bSamyas Ling with the Khenpo Rinpoches on Pad-masambhava's birthday. The establishment of a rural center is the fruit of the Khenpos' ongoing efforts to make authentic lineage teachings available to western students and simultaneously preserve a wisdom tradition that goes back over a thousand years.
The center has been consecrated Padma bSamyas Ling in honor of bSamyas (pronounced samyay), the first Buddhist monastery in the land of snows. A long, patient search by students and friends has led to the purchase of over 250 acres of woods and fields in the Catskill Mountains near Delhi, New York. Through the blessings of Guru Padmasambhava, the mandala of the Khen Rinpoches has been opened and made available. In 1988, they founded the Pad-masambhava Buddhist Center in New York and currently pursue an active teaching schedule instructing students at over a dozen centers on four continents. Dudjom Rinpoche, Khenchen Palden Sherab Rinpoche and his brother Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche have been working and teaching in the United States.
