Dhagpo
Kagyu Ling, Dhagpo Kundreul Ling, Dhagpo Dargye Ling, Dhagpo
Dedreul Ling. These four centres
have the role of preserving and transmitting the Buddha's teachings.
Together they form a unified whole in which each centre compliments
the activity of the three others.
"The
Dhagpo centres form a coherent group capable of integrating
new elements. The most important aspect is the idea of being
connected. If each one relates with the other elements of the
mandala in the right way, then they can be sure of carrying
out the right function.
"In this way, one accomplishes an activity appropriate
to the situation. One can be happy about this. Joy and confidence
arise and the wishes of each are accomplished, simply because
there is a suitable structure."
Jigme Rinpoche

KAGYU LING
Public Meditation and Study Centre
This centre
was founded in 1975 by the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa. Great Tibetan
masters and western lamas give teachings here which are open to
a large public of Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike. At the heart
of the centre is an Institute (currently being developed) for
the tradition's preservation and transmission, housing a large
library and serving as a place of study, research and exchange.
Dhagpo Kagyu Ling is the mother centre for many smaller centres
throughout France and Europe.
