The Ordained Monks & Nuns of Kunzang Palyul Choling A Tibetan Buddhist Temple
The house and business blessings are provided by the ordained monks and nuns of KPC. Because of the virtue of the vows upheld by the ordained, the potency of their prayers is increased at least 100 times.
The monks and nuns of KPC are part of the oldest, continuous monastic tradition in the world stretching back 2,600 years to the time of the Buddha.
Through the blessings of His Holiness Penor Norbu Rinpoche and Her Eminence Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo, Spiritual Director of Kunzang Palyul Choling (KPC), KPC has had a core monastic community since 1988 when the first group of students was ordained in the USA. KPC has been in operation in the U.S. for over forty years, offering a 24-hour prayer vigil, countless lineage teachings, Stupas (sacred Buddhist monuments) feeding the needy and many other compassionate activities under Her Eminence Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo.
