Kagyu Samdrup Choling: Kagyu Dharma Garden
We were founded under the Venerable Lama Norlha Rinpoche when he expressed a desire and urgency to create a Dharma Center in Franklinville, North Carolina (just south of Greensboro). Though we had been practicing meditation, had visiting Lamas teach, and engaged in other Dharma practices over the past several years, we were officially considered a sangha on April 12th, 2014 after a Chenrezig Empowerment given by Rinpoche.
