Chagchen refers to the "great seal", or mahamudra, the tradition of experience and realization transmitted particularly through the Kagyu and non-sectarian traditions. May the activity of the upholders of that tradition, in particular of Urgyen Tinley Dorje, the 17th Karmapa, flourish and benefit us all!
Here are the main choices currently available:

Kagyu students? Or just interested? In Sydney? Should we get organized?

Something of an antique bit of software now, but still a bit of fun! A rotating mani - wheel for DOS (Will run under Windows in full-screen DOS mode. Download this file, perhaps using a right-click, and run it to extract the executable. E-mail me if you have any problems.)

There will be teachings from Ngagpa Karma Lhundup Rinpoche between 15 and 23 July 2008. Over the first five days he will teach nothing less than tummo! There will also be a Medicine Buddha empowerment and a public talk on "Mind-Body Healing and Mental Health Issues in the Tibetan Tradition" on Sunday 20. There may be teaching on Chöd in the remaining days. Here is a PDF flyer for download (by right-click).
