Told by Karma Senge Rinpoche

Stories heard at his grandmother's (CTR's mother) feet, or from his father (CTR's attendant), or from any one of the many Trungpa Rinpoche disciples he met on his travels through Kham — these are teaching stories about Trungpa Rinpoche's outer, inner, and secret activities before his escape from Tibet.

Over the past four years, Karseng Rinpoche has begun to transmit a treasury of previously unknown teachings by Trungpa Rinpoche, and along with the teachings come stories — many stories. The Chronicles has had the good fortune to record some of these accounts, and — with Karseng Rinpoche's permission and blessings — we will be presenting them on this page over the coming years.

These stories are told in Tibetan and interpreted on the spot. The interpreter for the first series of stories is Ngodup Dorji — a Bhutanese lama who has spent time in Halifax working with the Nalanda Translation Committee. We would like to express our gratitude to Ngodup Dorji for the excellent work he has done interpreting Karseng Rinpoche's words.

Karseng Rinpoche's work in the West would not be possible without the hard work and support of the Nalanda Translation Committee. Thank you NTC!
