Tibetan and Himalayan Library - THL

Description: Shenpen Ösel is a tri-annual publication of Kagyu Shenpen Ösel Chöling (KSOC), a center for the study and practice of Tibetan vajrayana Buddhism located in Seattle, Washington. The magazine seeks to present the teachings of recognized and fully qualified lamas and teachers, with an emphasis on the Karma Kagyu and the Shangpa Kagyu lineages. The contents - totalling hundreds of pages of .pdf files - are derived from transcripts of teachings hosted by Kagyu Shenpen Ösel Chöling and other Kagyu Centers in North America. Many of the teachings on this site are commentaries on Indian and Tibetan Buddhist classics, and translations of them may be found embedded in the transcripts. (Jann Ronis 2003-08-09)
