Younge Drodul Ling is a Dharma community guided by Younge Khachab Rinpoche, devoted to living the Buddhist path in daily life.
Here, practice is something we take to heart and carry into how we live, relate, and show up for one another. Together, we practice within a living Tibetan Buddhist lineage, grounded in compassion, clarity, and responsibility over time.
Community at YDL is about walking the path together, supporting one another’s practice, and helping the teachings remain alive through lived experience.
As a global community of practitioners, Younge Drodul Ling is dedicated to preserving an authentic Buddhist lineage while making its practices workable in the conditions of modern life. We practice together across time zones and cultures, united by a shared commitment to depth, continuity, and integrity on the path.
Through the steady guidance of Younge Khachab Rinpoche, students receive clarification and support that helps practice mature over time. The aim is not abstract understanding, but direct recognition of our true nature, expressed in how we live, relate, and serve.
Awakening, in this community, is not separate from everyday life. As practice deepens, wisdom naturally expresses itself as generosity, kindness, and compassion. In this way, our individual practice becomes something we offer, first to one another, and then to the wider world.
We offer a supportive environment to deepen your practice through regular teachings, online sessions, and retreats.
We provide a wealth of practice materials, courses, and expert guidance from Younge Khachab Rinpoche and other teachers to support your practice.
Practitioners support one another through shared reflection, dialogue, service, and presence.
Most people begin by joining our live online teachings, where practice and study are grounded in direct guidance. From there, connection deepens through our community spaces, where students stay in relationship with the teachings and the sangha as practice becomes part of daily life.
