ABOUT LAMA CHOPAL
Lama Karma Chopal was born in east Tibet in 1965, became a monk, and studied thangka painting, mandala design and other art forms under Sonam Nyima, a Kagyu master of iconographic art. In India, he completed his monastic training, studied at HH Karmapa’s monastery at Rumtek, and accomplished the 3 year retreat at Sherab Ling under Mingyur Rinpoche. He continued in the monastic arts of torma making, ritual music, and chanting; studied Buddhist philosophy at Dzongsar College and advanced meditation with Bokar Rinpoche, Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche and other Kagyu lamas in India and Nepal. In 2001, he came to the US, and completed two stupas, for Kagyu Thubten Choling in NY state and Samchenling in Virginia. He travels in the US and Asia honoring requests for thangka painting, sand mandala, temple painting, & other arts. When at home, he is the resident lama at Kagyu Mila Guru Stupa north of Questa, New Mexico.
