We are delighted to announce the successful conclusion of our 2023 Chogyam Trungpa Library Project. We sent previously owned Dharma texts and commentaries to 6 countries, including our newly established, second central depository in Germany. The list of recipients include two monasteries in India, the National Research Library in Riga, Latvia, and growing branch depositories. Last year’s budget encompasssed $12,000 in cash donations for distribution and $12,000 worth of donations in kind (books). We plan to continue the Project this year. Offers of Dharma books are greatly appreciated. aplacetosit108@yahoo.com

Our other activities held steady all this last year, especially on-line courses, sittings, practices and programs. We conducted one on-site retreat in Europe and plan another one in 2024.

The historical background and tradition followed at a Place to Sit comes through the great adept, meditation master and scholar, the Dorje Dradul, Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche (1939 – 1987). He held and propagated the Karma Kagyu, Nyingma and Shambhala lineages. A Place to Sit adheres to Trungpa Rinpoche’s literal teaching stream, as well as that of his lineage predecessors–which means, essentially, the entire Buddhist and Shambhala canon and example.
