Dharmata Moncton is under the guidance of Anam Thubten Rinpoche, Dzogchen master in the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism. Rinpoche grew up in Tibet and at an early age began practicing in the Katok tradition. He continues to practice and teach within the Longchen Nyingthig and Dudjom Tersar lineages. Among his many teachers, his most formative guides were Lama Tsurlo, Khenpo Chopel, and Lama Garwang. Anam Thubten is the founder and spiritual advisor of the Dharmata Foundation, teaching widely in the U.S. He is also the author of various articles and books in both the Tibetan and English language. His books in English include: Embracing Each Moment, No Self No Problem, Into the Haunted Ground, The Citadel of Awareness and his most recent book, Voice of the Primordial Buddha. During Rinpoche's 1st Canadian visit in October 2024, he blessed our home as a centre, naming it Dudjom (du-jom) Ling, which means "conqueror of maras" - 'maras' meaning physical, mental, emotional, and especially, spiritual obstacles. Dharmata Moncton offer bi-weekly Saturday in-person guided meditation and Dharma talks, as well as a bi-weekly book study at Dudjom Ling. Online, Rinpoche offers a live guided meditation and Dharma talk generally twice a month on Sundays from 2pm to 4pm Atlantic Time. Richmond, California.
