Lama Karma Drodhul is Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche's principal attendant
and assistant. He became a monk when he was nine years old and at
twenty received both getsul (intermediate) and gelong (full)
ordination from Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche. Lama Karma excelled in
all aspects of dharma study and completed his education in five years.
Thrangu Rinpoche sent him to the U. S. to deepen his understanding of
the dharma under the tutelage of Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche. In March
2004, Lama Karma completed his first and in February 2008 his second
traditional three-year, three-month retreat under Khenpo Karthar
Rinpoche at Karme Ling Retreat Center. He now is the Drubpon (retreat
master) at Karme Ling. He travels to different centers to teach and
is the author of Amrita of Eloquence: A Biography of Khenpo Karthar
Rinpoche.
Teaching on the Aspiration Prayer of Dewachen. This aspirational
prayer, or Monlam, is one of the most beloved in Tibetan Buddhism. It
is a visionary description of Dewachen (Sukhavati) "Land of Bliss",
the western pure land of Amitabha Buddha. This prayer was written by
Karma Chakme (1613-1678) one of the most highly realized and
accomplished scholar-yogins of Tibet. An important Karma Kamtsang
teacher, he authored many texts and was the dharma keeper for Tertön
Migyur Rinpoche's Namchö terma (Space Treasury Treasures). His
teachers and students included the most famous masters of his time,
both Nyingma and Kagyü.
