Based on observation of our situation\, we become aware of our inner wealth and all that hinders it. By relying on the explanations that we have received\, we cultivate the quality of presence to ourselves and others. By way of a progressive dynamic of teachings\, guided meditations\, and opportunities for exchange\, Lama Jigme Rinpoche shows us how we can cultivate qualities that enrich our daily lives and support the path toward enlightenment beginning with ourselves. Throughout each course\, Rinpoche discusses a particular theme of Buddhism and helps us connect to a daily practice imbued with clarity and compassion. Teacher(s) \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 Information\n• Course Begins: Saturday\, April 20 at 11 am.• Translations: This teaching is given in English and translated into French.

In other words\, it provides understanding of the difference between the mind of an enlightened being and the confusion in the mind of an ordinary being\, despite the fact that the nature of the two are identical. The explanation of the text will be detailed and rigorous\, and based on scriptural sources. To study this key work of the Karma Kagyu tradition constitutes a prerequisite for those who wish to integrate serious meditative practice on their path. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Dhongtsang Shabdrung Rinpoché\, the fourth to this name\, known for his great scholarship\, recognized as the incarnation of Sangyé Yéshé (832 – 902)\, one of twenty-five heart disciples of Padmasambhava.  Despite being part of the Sakya lineage\, he received the most important transmissions and empowerment cycles from masters of different schools\, among them being Thayé Dorjé\, His Holiness the XVII Gyalwa Karmapa.  He is currently the principal instructor at Dhongtsang monastery (China).  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Information\n• Although accessible to all\, this teaching demands a familiarization with buddhist notions.• Beginning of the teaching: Tuesday\, March 5 at 10:00 a.m.• Translations: This teaching is given in Tibetan and translated into French.

This school of thought is thus named because its tenants consider that all phenomena neither exist nor non-exist\, neither both at once\, or neither one nor the other. Khenpo Samdrup introduces this view of the great vehicle through the explanation of four points that sum up the Bouddha’s teaching\, often known as the four seals\, the second part of the Gateway to Knowledge from Mipham Rinpoché.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Khenpo Samdrup Rinpoché was born in 1975 in Tibet. He became a monk at the age of eleven\, studied Tibetan literature for seven years and accomplished retreats at the Dhongtsang monastery (Tibet). In 1993\, he received the entirety of teachings on the Path and the Fruit from Luding Khenpo. Then he joined the shedra (monastic university) of Dzongsar where he studied philosophy and the vajrayana. During this period\, he also received important teachings from His Holiness Sakya Trinzin. Finally\, in 2016\, Kyabjé Dzongsar Khyentsé Rinpoché named him as principal khenpo at Dzongsar shedra where he continues to be the abbot. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Information\n• Beginning of the teaching: Wednesday 21 at 10:00 a.m.• Translations: This teaching is given in Tibetan and translated into French.

Its purpose is to enter the doorway of the Dharma and for this it is necessary for our minds to turn toward the Dharma. In order for our minds to turn toward the Dharma\, it is necessary to know the qualities of the three jewels and to develop convinced trust in them. This trust will not appear so long as we do not keep death and impermanence in mind. This is why we must begin by familiarizing ourselves with the impermanent nature of all things. The reminder of impermanence is born from understanding that it is difficult to find a human existence endowed with freedoms and wealths. The four common preliminary practices are the roots of practice.” (Translation of the prologue of The Torch of Certain Meaning by Jamgön Kongtrül Lodrö Thaye). Over the course of these four days\, Jamgön Kongtrül Rinpoche will introduce us to this work composed by his predecessor. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Jamgön Kongtrul Rinpoche\, born in 1995\, was recognized by Thaye Dorje\, His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa\, as the fourth reincarnation of the Kongtrüls. From the age of four\, he began to study and memorize the rituals of his tradition. At fourteen years old\, he began his studies of the great Buddhist texts on philosophy and epistemology at Sakya College in Deradun\, India. On October 31\, 2018\, Jamgön Kongtrul Rinpoche entered into a three-year retreat in Parping\, Nepal. He concluded this retreat on May 4\, 2022. During this period\, he received and practiced numerous vajrayana transmissions\, primarily of the Karma Kagyü lineage. Furthermore\, he received the transmissions and oral instructions on Mahamudra. Kongtrül RInpoche is an important figure in the Kagyü lineage. Today\, at twenty-seven years old\, he is beginning to deploy a vast activity of teaching the Buddha Dharma following the directives of Thaye Dorje\, His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Important\nJamgön Kongtrül Rinpoche will transmit the Dorje Sempa empowerment on Saturday afternoon\, October 7.Having taken refuge is a prerequisite. \n \n \n \n \n \n Information\n• Course Begins: Friday\, October 6 at 10 am• The teaching is given in Tibetan and translated in French.

Praciticing his guru yoga (union with enlightened mind) opens our mind to its own wealth. Nendo Rinpoche will explain this practice based on the commentary of Jamgön Kongtrul Lodrö Thaye and transmit the empowerment. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Nendo Rinpoche\, the sixth reincarnation of the Nendo Kulha lineage\, was born in 1962. He was recognized by the 16th Karmapa and remained close to the Karmapa until he turned eighteen\, when he moved to Ladakh to study and later accomplish a three-year retreat during which he practiced the six yogas of Naropa. He also received numerous other transmission\, notably from Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. DAt twenty-five years old\, he was enthroned as the vajra master (dorje lopon) of Rumtek Monastery in Sikkim\, India. He is still the 16th Karmapa’s dorje lopon today. He is currently responsible for Shamar Rinpoche’s monks and is in charge of the Karma Kagyü lineage’s activities in Sikkim. He is also the director of an important monastery in Kham\, Tibet that is home to fifty-five monks.Nendo Rinpoche is known for the quality of his listening and his simplicity. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Important\nNendo Rinpoche will transmit the Milarepa empowerment on Sunday afternoon\, October 1st.Having taken refuge is a prerequisite. \n \n \n \n \n \n Information\n• Course Begins: Saturday\, September 30 at 10 am• The teaching is given in Tibetan and translated in French.

A very short text\, it is the most concise version of the explanation of prajnaparamita\, wisdom that leads to the other side\, enlightenment. The approach of emptiness corrects our misunderstanding regarding mind and phenomena. It shows us that neither of these have any independent existence\, but rather the whole of manifestation operates according to interdependence. Trinlay Rinpoche will explain the meaning of this particularly profound text as well as its context and progression. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Trinlay Rinpoche was recognized as a tülku—manifestation of a Buddhist master—by the 16th Karmapa (1923–1981 C.E.). He is one of the rare tülkus born in the West and his dual culture makes 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• While this teaching is open to all\, it requires knowledge of Buddhist philosophy.• This teaching is given in French; for other languages\, contact the welcome office• In order to allow as many people as possible to follow this teaching\, we are also offering simultaneous streaming on YouTube \n \n \n \n \n \n Course Fee: 23 €/day\n \n Download the program in PDF (in French)\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n In general\, when we physically attend this type of teaching\, we take part in course fees that cover the expenses the center incurs to make Dharma transmission possible.
