Compiling Dhagpo\u2019s History at 50 Years<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

2025 marks fifty years<\/strong> since His Holiness the 16th Karmapa Rangjung Rigpe Dorje<\/strong> first set foot in France and visited the Dordogne, leading to the founding of Dhagpo Kagyu Ling.<\/p>\n

To prepare for this year-long commemoration, Lama Jigme Rinpoche has underscored the importance of precisely chronicling Dhagpo\u2019s history since 1975, noting that there are gaps in our knowledge.
Rinpoche will also marks his fifty years at Dhagpo in 2025.<\/p>\n

To this end, under Rinpoche\u2019s guidance, the Dhagpo Kagyu Ling community has embarked on a research project to compile this history, documenting it month by month since 1975.<\/strong> This includes chronicling visits, teachings and intensive practices by great masters, establishment of study courses, new constructions, as well as the Centre\u2019s administrative development.<\/p>\n

Emphasis is placed on all key activities that have planted seeds to render the Buddha\u2019s teachings accessible to westerners<\/strong> and contributed to preserving the Karma Kagyu tradition. To facilitate the task, ten groups have been set up, each focused on collecting information over a five-year period, supported by a team in charge of overall coordination, documentation and archiving.<\/p>\n

Rinpoche has stressed that this research project is a collective effort. Aware that practitioners around the world may hold valuable information<\/strong> to build this knowledge base, we invite you to share resources that you might have kept over the years. Documents<\/strong> may be scanned, or originals shared and returned to you upon request.<\/p>\n

Here are some examples of what we are looking for:<\/p>\n
