New design for the Kagyu Asia website! Over the coming months we will be gradually migrating our pages over to this new 'Web Standards' based design. It uses CSS layout and valid XHTML code, giving faster download times and other benefits for both visitors and the webmaster. It will take around a year to get all the content into the new design, (we've around a thousand pages, and it takes several hours to do each page) so please be prepared for the site having two different designs during this time.

The Kagyu Asia Centres promote the authentic teachings of the Karma Kagyu Lineage, from Tilopa, Naropa, Marpa, Milarepa, Gampopa, HH 1st Karmapa right down to HH 17th Karmapa, Thaye Dorje.

May the authentic teachings always thrive and benefit innumerable sentient beings, until all have reached Perfect Enlightenment!
