The Palyul Retreat Center is located in McDonough, New York in the United States. It was established in 1998 by Dzogchen Master, His Holiness the third Penor Rinpoche (his reincarnation, the Fourth Penor Rinpoche, pictured here), to provide Westerners with the opportunity to study and practice Buddhism.

Our local Health Department has advised we not have gatherings at this time. In order to fulfill that command we must request you not to visit the center overnight. If you do come during the day, we request you call us at 607-656-4645 as otherwise it is possible that you and several others could appear at the same time and break this rule.

Advice from Khen Rinpoche Tsewang Gyatso

Oh my dear brothers and sisters of the world. Now it is time to work together to do what we can do to fight this coronavirus as it is affecting people globally. Looking into world history, this pandemic is not the first. There was the plague in 1720, a cholera pandemic in 1820, the flu pandemic in 1920, and SARS in 2003. With this past experience, we need to be more aware and try to correct ourselves now, because this is a result of the collective negative deeds of humankind. We have to remind ourselves what we have done in the past to each other, including the killing and torturing of animals, thereby emotionally creating problems in the world. This pandemic is the result of our negative actions.
