Our practice and learning of Buddhadharma is framed within the Marpa Kagyu or Karma Kagyu lineage, although we receive teachings from teachers of other lineages and we fully identify with the principles of the Rime movement. The Palpung Lima Chöling Buddhist Center is under the spiritual guidance of Lama Karma Chötso.
