The Four Noble Truths<\/b> are the foundational teachings of Buddhism that offer profound insights into the nature of suffering and the path to liberation. This was the Buddha\u2019s first teaching after he achieved Enlightenment, and it is as relevant now as it was 2,500 years ago. All traditions of Buddhism emphasize the importance of this most fundamental of teachings.<\/p>\n

About Drupon Khenpo Lodro Namgyal:<\/b>\u00a0Drupon Khenpo Lodro Namgyal completed the 9-year Acharya program at Nalanda Institute, Rumtek Monastery. He studied under the guidance of Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche and Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche. After his graduation, he was appointed one of the Khenpos of Nalanda Institute where he taught for two years. Following that, he entered a three-year retreat at Pullahari Monastery under Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche. When he completed the retreat, he was appointed Drupon (retreat master) of Pullahari Monastery. This combination of immense learning and intensive meditation is clearly evident in his teachings. His way of making even the most complex and subtle Dharma subjects immediately accessible to students is a constant inspiration to all.<\/p>\n

Drupon Khenpo Lodro Namgyal is now the principal of the Rigpe Dorje Institute of Higher Buddhist Philosophy at Kagyu Tekchen Ling, Lava, India, and was the personal tutor of philosophy to His Eminence the Fourth Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche. Our resident lama, Acharya Choying Gyurmey, completed his Acharya degree at Kagyu Tekchen Ling under Drupon Khenpo Lodro Namgyal.<\/p>\n
