Our Mission
Vajra Vidya Portland provides a welcoming community for the study and practice of Buddhism in the Tibetan Karma Kagyu lineage of our founder, Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche.
Whatever the circumstances, whether we are happy or sad, it is beneficial to be able to maintain mindfulness, awareness, and carefulness in cultivating and maintaining meditation.
– The Venerable Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche, from An Ocean of the Ultimate Meaning, p. 180
