Dharma Samudra is a Dharma publishing company founded by Khenchen Palden Sherab and Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche in 1985. The name Dharma Samudra is the Sanskrit translation of the Tibetal Chokyi Gyamtso, which means Ocean of Dharma and comes from the name of the great terton, Orgyen Tsasum Lingpa Chokyi Gyamtso. Tsasum Lingpa founded Gochen Monastery of which Khenchen Palden Sherab was Abbot.
Here we have a selection of the sadhanas texts produced by Dharma Samudra. These are ritual texts authorized by the Ven. Khenpo Rinpoches for use only by their students and other empowered practitioners. They are the same ones sold at the Pemai Chiso shop at Padma Samye Ling Monastery and Retreat Center in upstate New York.
All Dharma Samudra publications are spiral bound paperback unless otherwise noted.
------------------
Please note: In accordance with the Ven. Khenpo Rinpoches' wishes, most of these texts minimally require a transmission from a qualified Lama to read and practice them.
Traditionally, it is said that the beneficial results of practicing according to a sadhana can only be achieved after receiving empowerment, transmission and instructions from a qualified Lama.
