Practice Materials
As at most Kagyu centers, many of our practice texts presume an empowerment or transmission from a qualified teacher, so they aren’t published openly on this site. Members and students of the center can find them in our practice texts area— ask Lama Sean after Sunday practice, or reach out through Contact, for the password.
KTD, our lineage’s North American seat, also maintains a public library of sadhana texts and teachings, linked below.
