The four Dhagpos
Welcome

Jigme Rinpoche

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

 


DHAGPO 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.
