Description: The Rigpa Dorje Foundation was founded by His Eminence Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche. The organization's primary location is in Canada, but there are outposts in the United States, Europe, and Hong Kong, where projects of education, medical, social, and cultural development are supported by his followers. He believed that the combination of Eastern wisdom and Western knowledge could solve many contemporary problems, and initiated the Buddhism and Psychotherapy Conference in New York. The primary meditation practice, called shamata, looks to awaken the nature of the mind.
