However\, he wishes that the retreat be maintained with some adjustments to the program\, notably to include the practice of Amitabha and the recitation of Guru Rinpoche’s Seven-Line Prayer with its mantra\, as indicated by Karmapa himself. Lama Jigme Rinpoche also wishes that Khenpo Wangdu\, director of the Shri Diwakar Buddhist Academy in Kalimpong\, teach the chapter on Dependent Origination from Entry to the State of a Pandita by the 1st Mipham Rinpoche be maintained as a tribute to Mipham Rinpoche.  \nThese sudden upheavals are a reminder of the truth of impermanence\, which leaves its unpredictable mark on all conditioned phenomena. In this year end and given these circumstances\, gathering to practice together at Dhagpo Kagyu Ling\, the place where their Holinesses the 16th and 17th Gyalwa Karmapas and the 14th Künzig Shamarpa sealed the blessing of the Karma Kagyu lineage\, is undoubtedly a beautiful way to close Dhagpo’s fiftieth anniversary year and to begin the new one. \nWith best wishes from Lama Jigme Rinpoche \nThe Dhagpo Kagyu Ling team \nFor any cancellation\, and in order to help us plan the number of meals to be served\, we kindly ask you to contact the reception as soon as possible at contact@dhagpo.org. Please note that there will be no telephone reception due to the center’s closure until December 28 at 2:30 pm. It is possible to receive a refund for the retreat if you cancel your attendance\, or to offer your registration as support for the activities of Lama Jigme Rinpoche and Dhagpo Kagyu Ling. \n* Last update: 25/12/2025 \n \n New retreat program in PDF format\n \n \n \n \n \n The path offered by the Buddha consists in clarifying our minds so that we can be freer in our choices. Based on examination of our situation\, we become aware of our inner wealth as well as what hinders it. By relying on the explanations we receive\, we cultivate a quality of presence to ourselves and others. Based on a progressive process made up of teachings\, guided meditations\, and opportunities for exchange\, Lama Jigme Rinpoche shows us how we can start with ourselves to cultivate the qualities that enrich our daily lives and support the path to liberation. Over the course of each course\, Rinpoche focuses on a specific theme of Buddhism that leads to daily practice made up of clarity and compassion.\n \n \n \n \n \n SPECIAL PROGRAM: DECEMBER 31\, 2025 \nWe are pleased to announce that Lama Jigme Rinpoche will give the Bodhisattva Commitment during his morning teaching in the Institute.As the year ends\, receiving this Commitment together brings the commemoration of Dhagpo Kagyu Ling’s fiftieth anniversary to a close in an auspicious way and constitutes a commitment for the years ahead. \nHow to prepare?Lama Jigme Rinpoche encourages us to reflect on the meaning of this Commitment\, in particular by referring to Shantideva’s Bodhicaryavatara and The Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva.Preparing to receive these commitments also involves accumulating merit by contributing flower\, fruits and vegetarian food offerings that will adorn the altar the day of the ceremony. It will be possible to make an offering on-site during the retreat.Please note that as with individual liberation disciplines or empowerments\, the Bodhisattva Commitment ceremony will not be broadcast online. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Just as all the Buddhas of the pastHave brought forth the awakened mind\,And in the precepts of the BodhisattvasStep-by-step abode and trained\, \nLikewise\, for the benefit of beings\,I will bring to birth the awakened mind\,And in those precepts\, step-by-step\,I will abide and train myself. \nBodhicaryavatara – Chapter 3\, verses 23–24 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Lama Jigme Rinpoche was born in Eastern Tibet in 1949. He received the entirety of his spiritual education from the 16th Karmapa\, Rangjung Rigpe Dorje\, who he stayed with for numerous years of his training. After fifty years of tireless activity to make the Buddha’s message accessible in Europe\, Rinpoche has acquired a thorough knowledge of Westerners. His example and his accessible teaching inspire all those who meet him around the world. He is the 16th Karmapa’s representative in Europe and the author of numerous works.

As Rinpoche often reminds us\, this continuity allows us to deepen our practice\, to advance along the path and to obtain results. \nFollowing the cremation of His Eminence Mipham Rinpoche next February 10 at KIBI in New Delhi\, Jigme Rinpoche\, in his capacity as General Secretary of the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa Thaye Dorje\, will extend his stay in order to visit the different sites of the Karma Kagyu lineage that he takes care of in India and Nepal. Visiting these centres in Asia also provides the occasion to continue exchanges with the different qualified teachers based there\, so that we in Europe may benefit from their knowledge. \nTherefore\, despite his physical absence from Dhagpo Kagyu Ling\, Lama Jigme Rinpoche wishes to maintain the Chenrezig curriculum and retreat this February\, because it is above all a matter of establishing a profound meditative practice. Furthermore\, in these troubled times as we witness eminent masters dissolving their physical presence\, practicing the Buddha Dharma together is also a source of merit accumulation. \nJigme Rinpoche will intervene remotely at the beginning of the retreat in order to give instructions on the practice to be performed together. \nDetailed Program of the Retreat: \n\nWednesday February 25: Lama Jigme Rinpoche will speak remotely to all practitioners following the course. His talk will be streamed online.\nThursday 26 and Friday 27 February\, morning: sessions devoted to intensive Chenrezig practice\, streamed online.\nFriday February 27 afternoon\, Saturday February 28 and Sunday March 1 mornings\, only on site: streaming of a teaching given by the Gyalwa Karmapa at Dhagpo Kagyu Ling.*NOTE: in order to respect Gyalwa Karmapa’s wish not to broadcast his teaching online\, these sessions will only be accessible in person at the DKL Institute.\nIn the afternoon\, repetition of the Abhidharma Kosha\, continuing on from previous retreats. Streamed on line.\n\nWe hope that many of you will be present so that together\, we may put Jigme Rinpoche’s teachings on the study and meditation of Chenrezig into practice. In this way we will be able to accumulate merit and practice with gratitude for the conditions that we enjoy at Dhagpo Kagyu Ling. \nYou will find the full adjusted program attached. \nThank you for your understanding. \nThe Dhagpo Kagyu Ling team \nFor any cancellation\, and in order to help us plan the number of meals to be served\, we kindly ask you to contact the reception as soon as possible at contact@dhagpo.org.

Among them\, the Sutra of Aspirations for Excellent Conduct\, also known as Samantabadhra’s Wishing Prayer\, represents the path of aspiration. The bodhisattva Samantabhadra’s wishing prayers are a model for all to follow. They are recited regularly by practitioners of all traditions and are a path that\, as Karmapa says\, “is a way of consciously dreaming.” \nAfter having clarified the meaning of the Heart Sutra\, which presents the path of view\, Trinlay Rinpoche will begin the detailed explanation of the second of the Five Royal Sutras. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Trinlay Rinpoche\, born in 1975\, was recognized as a tülku—manifestation of a Buddhist master—by the 16th Karmapa (1923–1981 C.E.). He brings together a Western academic education and in-depth Buddhist training under the guidance of eminent masters like the 14th Shamarpa. His dual culture\, his mastery of three languages (English\, French\, and Tibetan)\, and his ability to communicate the depth of Buddhist thought in an accessible way make him an exceptional teacher. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Important\n•  Translations: This teaching is given in French.

Based on examination of our situation\, we become aware of our inner wealth as well as what hinders it. By relying on the explanations we receive\, we cultivate a quality of presence to ourselves and others. Based on a progressive process made up of teachings\, guided meditations\, and opportunities for exchange\, Lama Jigme Rinpoche shows us how we can start with ourselves to cultivate the qualities that enrich our daily lives and support the path to liberation. Over the course of each course\, Rinpoche focuses on a specific theme of Buddhism that leads to daily practice made up of clarity and compassion.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Lama Jigme Rinpoche was born in Eastern Tibet in 1949. He received the entirety of his spiritual education from the 16th Karmapa\, Rangjung Rigpe Dorje\, who he stayed with for numerous years of his training. After fifty years of tireless activity to make the Buddha’s message accessible in Europe\, Rinpoche has acquired a thorough knowledge of Westerners. His example and his accessible teaching inspire all those who meet him around the world. He is the 16th Karmapa’s representative in Europe and the author of numerous works. Some of his teachings are available on Dhagpo Kagyu Ling’s YouTube channel and as booklets.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Teacher(s)\nLama Jigmé Rinpoche and the Students of the Institute \n \n \n \n \n \n Important\n\nCourse begins Thursday\, May\, 14 at 10:30 am.\nThis teaching is given in English and translated into French.

This key idea requires profound\, precise reflection to be correctly understood. \nWith this short text\, which is both accessible and profound\, the 3rd Karmapa Rangjung Dorje (1284–1339 CE) skillfully guides students toward the understanding of the fundamental constituent of a being: Buddha nature This seed of enlightenment is present in each of us right now and is no different at the moment of its actualization. \n“There is nothing to remove from it and nothing to add to it. Look fully and fullness; in seeing fullness\, you are completely free!” (Maitreya\, Treatise of the Supreme Continuum of the Great Vehicle) \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Dhongtsang Shabdrung Rinpoche\, the fourth of his name and reputed for his great erudition\, was recognized as the incarnation of Sangye Yeshe (832–902 CE)\, one of the twenty-five heart disciples of Padmasambhava. Though a part of the Sakya lineage\, he has received the most important transmission and empowerment cycles from the masters of the different schools\, including Thaye Dorje\, His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa. He is currently the main instructor at Dhongtsang Monastery in China.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Information\n• Though open to all\, this teaching requires familiarization with Buddhist ideas.• Beginning of the Teaching: Saturday\, 23 at 10:00 a.m.• Translations: This teaching is given in Tibetan and translated into French.
