Curriculum

Your instructor
Born in 1979, I, Lama Kinley, have woven together the threads of modern secular education with the deep spiritual inquiries of Buddha Dharma. This sacred tapestry of knowledge began in my teens and was enriched at Dechenphodrang monastic school, leading to my dedicated study at Namdroling Monastery under the auspices of His Holiness Penor Rinpoche. My rigorous training culminated in 2009 after completing a nine-year course at the Ngagyur Nyingma Institute, imbuing me with the profound wisdom of traditions like Terzod and Nyingthik Yazhi from masters including His Holiness the Dalai Lama and other revered figures.
For years I retreated into the heart of meditation and scripture, practicing Tsalung and Dzogchen in hermitages known for their sanctity. As a disciple of His Holiness Drubwang Rigzin Paldan (Lama Serpo), I was entrusted with the precious Longchen Nyingthik teachings—a lineage I honor and uphold with the utmost devotion. My passion for this path is matched only by my dedication to sharing it, a commitment embodied in my years of instructing Lama Michael in Tsalung Trulkhor. It is this blend of deep personal practice and the joy of guiding others on their journey that energizes my teaching, nurturing a sincere connection between the ancient wisdom of the texts and the hearts of my students.
