Promote the Rimé Philosophy and Interfaith Dialogues

About this Program

Dzokden is committed to promoting the Rimé (non-sectarian) philosophy. Rimé does not seek to blend all traditions into one, but rather to affirm the unique value of all spiritual paths and find the common ground that unites us all.   Our educational work includes dialogue with other faith traditions and encourages mutual respect and understanding.  We intend to help people develop these positive qualities with an openness to new ideas, and an inquisitive desire to overcome our ignorance.  By cultivating tolerance and appreciation of the world’s diverse wisdom traditions, we can bridge the gaps that often lead to division.

Khentrul Rinpoche has dedicated his life to educating the world on the importance of Rimé through his books, videos, and global teachings.  This program includes several ongoing initiatives to support Rinpoche’s tireless efforts:

• The 108 Teachings of Kunga Drolchök: In 2026, Rinpoche will transmit the monumental 108 Teachings of Kunga Drolchök, a profound corpus of Buddhist Rimé literature Compiled in the 16th century by the Jonang master Kunga Drolchök.  This collection was a revolutionary effort to preserve the essential “instruction manuals” of various Tibetan Buddhist lineages that were in danger of being lost. This initiative serves as a cornerstone for understanding how diverse lineages can coexist and enrich one another.
• The Dzokden Rimé Institute: Our dedicated retreat center serves as a physical sanctuary for this philosophy, providing a space where practitioners from all backgrounds can gather to study, meditate, and engage in spiritual exchange.
• Global Interfaith Dialogues: We are launching a series of dialogues specifically designed to find parallels between the world’s wisdom traditions. These sessions foster an environment of “wisdom-sharing” where the deep insights of the Kalachakra are placed in conversation with other global faiths.
• Rimé Publications and Liturgy: A growing library of books and prayers focused on the Rimé philosophy, curated to help modern seekers appreciate the vast breadth of the spiritual landscape.

Our Aspiration and Why This is Important

By bringing the philosophy of Rimé into modern social discourse, we aim to cultivate a global culture of peace and empower the individual to transform how they view other faith traditions.  We extend an open invitation to everyone to step into a mindset of radical appreciation, utilizing the collective wisdom of humanity to accelerate our journey toward global harmony and the manifestation of a Golden Age.
