To bring the genuine dharma into the heart of western culture.
View: The Buddhist Rimé and Shambhala lineages of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche are very powerful for western students, and are at risk of dying out.
Goal: To transmit those lineages to future generations and into broader society.
Method: Advanced training and fellowship for next-generation leaders in those lineages.
Advised by: Judy Lief, Larry Mermelstein, Valerie Lorig, Jon Barbieri.
Where: Boulder and Online.
View: Practitioners have accumulated dharma materials that they no longer use. They may feel unsure how to pass on restricted materials in an appropriate way.

Donate: If you would like to donate dharma materials, see donations instructions below.
Estate Plans: If you would like to include FES in your will, please contact bequests@fes.ngo.
FES is collecting Vajradhatu Seminary transcripts and giving them to participants in the 3 Yanas Retreat. We collected and delivered about 10 boxes of transcripts in 2024 and plan to do so again in 2025.
