About Bodhi Path

Shakyamuni Buddha taught the path of wisdom and compassion for all beings. This path leads to the understanding and realization of ultimate reality, or enlightenment. His teachings have been preserved in an unbroken lineage to the Karma Kagyu, one of the major schools of Himalayan Buddhism.

Bodhi Path Centers are founded and directed by His Holiness the 14th Shamar Rinpoche, who, along with the Gyalwa Karmapa, is the current holder of the Karma Kagyu lineage. Rinpoche and many other highly qualified teachers provide meditation and philosophy instruction, and guidance to learn and practice the great compassion of the Mahayana.
