Born in the Indian Himalayas, in a valley
called Lahoul, which is also known as the "land of the blissful
dakinis", Khandro Thrinlay Chodon has, all her life, quietly
and diligently, practiced the Buddhist teachings of her precious
family lineage.
In her adult life, Khandro-la's spiritual
master, Gegen Kheyntse, gave the name "Khachodling" to the
vision of Khandro-la, which has become her life's work of
spiritual training and activity. Translated from the Tibetan,
it means "Land of Blissful Dakinis". This title has a deep
spiritual meaning and Gegen Kheyntse said to her - "when you
envision dharma work it has to be as vast as the sky, for
we have lifetimes to complete it"
Khachodling is a land where everything is
infused with boundless joy, compassion and equanimity - a
place where blissful dakinis flow and fly in the vast sky
of wisdom and compassion.
This deep spiritual view is based in the teachings
and blessings of the Drukpa Kargyud lineage of Tibetan Buddhism.
It has manifested in a series of projects that are united
by a strong spiritual purpose.
So here, on this planet and at this time,
we have Khachodling - a vision as vast as the sky and action
as local as working side by side. From the cities of the West
to the mountains of the Himalayas, men and women, adults and
young people, lay people, monks and nuns are joining together
in social action projects and spiritual training.
"Khachodling is, to me - a goal-less journey.
I am not quite sure from where it came and where it is leading.
But I do know that, myself and Khachodling have always been
blessed by my precious masters, and these blessings will always
continue.
This vision - my life's work, is an offering
to the wisdom of my great masters"
- Khandro-la
