Chicago Ratna Shri is a member-supported organization operating under the blessing and guidance of Drupon Rinchen Dorjee Rinpoche. Our Center’s mission includes bringing qualified and authentic teachers to Chicago, and supporting local teaching and practice activities.
Membership contributions are used to support day-to-day operations, including expenses for Drupon Rinchen Dorjee when he is in residence in Chicago. Some of these expenses include rent and utilities for the Center, insurance, groceries.. In addition, contributions are used towards airfare for Lamas and translators, as well as translation fees, legal fees, venue-related costs and other expenses. Specifically-designated contributions will also be used to create a fund to purchase real estate in which the center can ultimately reside.
The greatest priority for CRSS is to make the Drikung Kagyu teachings available, in the manner in which Ven. Drupon Rinchen Dorjee envisions, for the greater Chicago area.

Membership helps support the intent of the Center, the growth of the Dharma in the Drikung Kagyu lineage, and the work of Ven. Drupon Rinchen Dorjee.
