Lama Jigme Rinpoche and the community are delighted to welcome him once again. \n→ Read more \n* Update : 16/07/2026 \n \n \n \n \n \n The path taught by the Buddha consists in clarifying the mind so that we may be freer in our choices. By examining our situation\, we become aware of our inner richness as well as what obstructs it. Relying on the teachings received\, we cultivate a quality of presence toward ourselves and others. Through a progressive dynamic combining teachings\, guided meditations\, and discussion\, Lama Jigme Rinpoche shows us how to cultivate the qualities that enrich our daily life and support the path toward liberation—starting where we are.\nDuring each retreat\, Rinpoche addresses a specific theme of Buddhism that opens onto a daily practice grounded in 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 Teachers\nLama Jigme Rinpoche and the Institute’s Students\n \n \n \n \n \n Information\n• Course begins: Thursday\, August 13 at 10:30 am• Translation: this teaching is given in English and translated into French.

He was recognized by Rangjung Rigpe Dorje\, the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa. \nHe began long studies at Rumtek at a young age and received empowerments and teachings from all the traditions of Tibetan Buddhism. His training in meditative practice was guided by the accomplished practitioner Khenchen Trinley Paljor Rinpoche\, with whom he spent nearly his entire life until the latter’s passing. He acquired advanced university training in Taiwan and the United States\, where he received his doctorate in 2004 at Harvard with a thesis on Gampopa. He is fluent in Tibetan\, English\, Nepalese\, Sherpa and Chinese and possesses solid knowledge of Sanskrit\, Hindi and French. \nHis activity unfolds throughout the world through teachings\, the creation of centers for Buddhist study\, humanitarian associations (Nepal\, 2015)\, a nonreligious center for peace in Lumbini\, educational initiatives and more.

In Buddhism\, meditation is a tool for progressing toward a freedom that goes beyond simple relaxation. \nHowever\, for real progress to occur\, these methods must be combined with a deep understanding of how our mind functions and how we perceive the world. Phakchok Rinpoche explains how to acquire this right view. \nThe aim is to practice a form of meditation that has a genuine impact on our lives\, allowing us to evolve beyond all our dissatisfactions. To support his teaching\, Phakchok Rinpoche draws on the Samadhi Raja Sutra\, one of the major teachings of the Mahayana Buddhist tradition\, which shows how the combination of key factors such as bodhicitta and the practice of the paramitas is necessary for this process to be deeply transformative. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Phakchok Rinpoche belongs to the new generation of Tibetan Buddhist masters. Born in 1981\, he is recognized as the seventh Phakchok Rinpoche\, the incarnation of an eminent teacher and meditation master. He received ordination from His Holiness the Dalai Lama and underwent extensive training in Buddhist philosophy and meditation\, studying with some of the most accomplished masters of modern times. \nHis main teachers were his grandfather\, Kyapje Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche\, and Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche. He completed his education at the Dzongsar Institute of Advanced Buddhist Studies in Bir\, India\, where he received the title of Khenpo. He travels worldwide\, teaching in Buddhist centers\, universities\, and monasteries\, from Asia to the United States\, from South Africa to Europe. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Information\n• Course begins: Saturday\, August 29 at 10 am• Translation: this teaching is given in Tibetan and translated into French.

Among them\, the Sutra of Aspirations for Excellent Conduct\, also known as Samantabhadra’s Wishing Prayer\, represents the path of aspiration. The bodhisattva Samantabhadra’s prayers are a model for all. \nRecited regularly by practitioners of all traditions\, they form a path that\, as the Karmapa says\, “is a way of consciously dreaming.” After clarifying the meaning of the Heart Sutra\, which presents the path of view\, Thinley Rinpoche continues the detailed explanation of the second of the Five Royal Sutras. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Thinley Rinpoche\, born in 1975\, was recognized as a tülku—manifestation of a Buddhist master—by the 16th Karmapa (1924–1981). He combines a Western academic education with in-depth Buddhist training under the guidance of great masters such as 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 Information\n• Translation: this teaching is given in French.
