Dhagpo urban centers, known as Karma Teksoum Tcheuling (KTT)<\/a>, were established as early as 1982. The vocation<\/strong> of these centers is to serve as a gateway to the Buddha\u2019s teachings<\/strong> for anyone who is interested, curious, or seeking. These urban centers also provide a place to practice close to home, allowing practitioners to continue what they have learned at Dhagpo Kagyu Ling or Dhagpo Kundreul Ling.<\/p>\n

Each year, a program is offered<\/strong> for learning philosophy and meditative practice. This program is tailored to the needs of each urban Dhagpo, sometimes in direct consultation with Lama Jigme Rinpoche. It is led by qualified teachers<\/strong> (often graduates of the Diwakar Academy in India) and supported by long-term practitioners who have completed traditional three-year meditative retreats, as well as students from the Institute for the philosophical aspect.<\/p>\n

As gateways to the Buddha\u2019s teachings, KTT members are called upon to welcome interested beginners and introduce them to the fundamentals of Buddhism. This requires a solid understanding of Buddhism in general and the Karma Kagyu lineage in particular. Initially, a program called KTT Instructor Training was held several years ago. Lama Jigme Rinpoche has advised that certain themes and notions now need to be addressed in a more precise manner. As such, to equip interested KTT members with the fundamental concepts of Buddhism, its history, and its various paths, a two-week immersion program is offered<\/strong> at Dhagpo Kagyu Ling and Dhagpo Kundreul Ling, based on a teaching by Khenpo Ch\u00f6drak Rinpoche.<\/p>\n

From October 27 to November 2, 2025, some twenty members from various KTTs in France gathered at Dhagpo Kundreul Ling<\/a> to immerse themselves in the three aspects of practice:<\/strong> Dharma study, meditative practice, and active participation in the life of the center.<\/p>\n

They studied with students from Dhagpo\u2019s Institute, covering an introduction to Buddhism<\/strong> as well as an overview of Buddhist history<\/strong>, illustrated in situ by the temple\u2019s murals. Group study sessions were scheduled each day, along with opportunities to share in the center\u2019s daily activities<\/strong> (cleaning, small jobs, etc.) with the residents. In the late afternoon, a discussion session was scheduled with various teachers who regularly visit the KTTs.<\/p>\n

To continue to deepen their learning together<\/strong> after this first week, several enthusiastic students formed online study groups.
<\/strong>
They gathered for a second week<\/strong>, which took place from April 13 to 19, 2026, this time at Dhagpo Kagyu Ling<\/strong>. The theme of their study was the different vehicles of Buddhist practice. Immersed in the life of the center, the students also had the opportunity to discover Dhagpo and the members who are active on a daily basis by working alongside them in the kitchen, the library, the garden, and elsewhere.<\/p>\n

The week concluded with a discussion with Lama Jigme Rinpoche<\/strong> at the students\u2019 request. Jigme Rinpoche praised their commitment within the KTTs, explaining:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/dhagpo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/2026-04-16_Instructeurs-KTT_LJR@DKLmedia-31b-scaled.jpg” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_testimonial _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Bringing the Dharma to those who are interested is the very activity of a bodhisattva like the Karmapa. By doing this, you are directly engaging in this activity. This is something very important. It doesn\u2019t matter whether one belongs to a small or a large KTT; the essential thing is to offer people the opportunity to connect with the Buddha Dharma.<\/em><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_text admin_label=”Intro” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]He also reminded them that this training is beneficial for oneself and one\u2019s own spiritual journey, and that it should not be viewed as a training designed to acquire a particular status or position.
\nThis program will be offered annually, and anyone interested is welcome to join.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m part of a KTT board, which usually involves a lot of activities and planning. This week, we have entire days to devote to practice\u2014through activity, meditation, and learning. I really appreciate being able to fully immerse myself in this for a whole week<\/strong>, without going home and letting old habits take over. We really have time to immerse ourselves, to go a little deeper. The pace is fast, but it goes by quickly.<\/p>\n

After the teaching<\/strong>, we participate in the center\u2019s activity<\/strong> for two hours and help out in different areas. Personally, I like that because it helps me get to know the place and the activities better; I was familiar with Dhagpo but not Kundreul Ling. And it also helps me get to know the people involved.<\/p>\n

After lunch, we have study groups<\/strong>. It\u2019s interesting because we review together what we\u2019ve covered in the previous days or that same day. We read together, and everyone shares their understanding. Last year, there was a facilitator who visited the different groups. This year, we\u2019re doing it on our own. Then we come back with any questions we have about the text to the facilitators during the next session. These exchanges are truly very enriching.<\/p>\n

This is also how we build connections with other centers<\/strong>, and how those connections remain over time. When we come to Dhagpo, that\u2019s also what we\u2019re looking for: the insights we can gain from what other groups are doing in the KTTs, and seeing that the challenges we face are shared by other groups, so we feel somewhat less alone.<\/p>\n

Several KTT members also participate in the Chenrezig Curriculum retreats, but we hadn\u2019t done any instructor training at all, so we\u2019re starting over with this new format. In the Chenrezik curriculum, we studied the aggregates, and now it\u2019s the Abhidharmakosa. We have a study group on these topics. We have a ton of elements from the various teachings, but when we welcome newcomers who ask us questions, we don\u2019t really dare to go into explanations, because in terms of the history of Buddhism, it wasn\u2019t really clear for us yet.<\/p>\n

In fact, that\u2019s also what we came here for\u2014to gain more information, to gradually internalize these notions through repetition, and then to feel more comfortable later on, so we can answer questions from people who come to the KTT.<\/strong> The act of repeating things, of hearing them again\u2014sometimes in different ways\u2014allows us to gradually internalize the various concepts.<\/em><\/p>\n

Actually, I really enjoy these two-week study sessions. The first modules offered a few years ago were held over fifteen consecutive days. Now, they\u2019re split into two parts: one week per location. Personally, I appreciate this setup: it allows me to go deeper, to discover the sites and to learn<\/strong> in a supportive environment.<\/p>\n

Alternating<\/strong> the repetitions, meditation, small group study, and activities is very complementary. Through meditation and study, we learn, deepen our understanding, and integrate the information. And it\u2019s a way of putting sharing into practice<\/strong>\u2014we give our time to support the life of the place, whether at Kundreul Ling Monastery or at Dhagpo. This is also necessary for the place to exist.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I had already received explanations of various texts. But here, it is a specific teaching from a Khenpo, given in a very orderly, very structured way. This study allows for fewer interpretations on my part, as I stay closer to the text that has been transmitted to us.<\/p>\n

During the repetition sessions, it\u2019s more about listening, revisiting, and deepening our knowledge. Then, during the group discussion times,<\/strong> we come back to compare our understanding and readings, because, in fact, we forget quickly. Sometimes questions arise, and others provide insights. And if we can\u2019t find the answers, we go back to the presenters for clarification. This happens without competition, without trying to meet specific, predefined goals. It progresses naturally.<\/strong><\/p>\n

By participating in these training weeks, it allows me, on the one hand, to improve my knowledge, and on the other, to be able to welcome and convey information more accurately to people who are new to our KTT, especially regarding the history of Buddhism.<\/p>\n

Because these are questions that come up quite often from people who are new to the KTT. These people come to discover Buddhism and wonder what it is. Or they come to discover meditation and wonder what the context is.<\/p>\n

This helps me have a clearer understanding of these topics and share accurate information.

Les Dhagpo urbains, appel\u00e9s Karma Teksoum Tcheuling (KTT),<\/a> ont vu le jour en 1982. La vocation<\/strong> de ces lieux d\u2019accueil est d\u2019\u00eatre un point d\u2019acc\u00e8s \u00e0 l\u2019enseignement du Bouddha<\/strong> pour toute personne int\u00e9ress\u00e9e, curieuse ou en recherche. Ces centres urbains permettent \u00e9galement d\u2019avoir un lieu de pratique pr\u00e8s de chez soi pour continuer ce qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 appris \u00e0 Dhagpo Kagyu Ling ou Dhagpo Kundreul Ling.<\/p>

Chaque ann\u00e9e est propos\u00e9 un programme d\u2019apprentissage<\/strong> de la philosophie et de la pratique m\u00e9ditative. Ce programme est \u00e9tabli selon les besoins de chaque Dhagpo urbain, parfois directement avec lama Jigm\u00e9 Rinpoch\u00e9. Il est assur\u00e9 par des enseignants qualifi\u00e9s<\/strong> (souvent issus de l\u2019acad\u00e9mie Diwakar en Inde) et soutenu par des pratiquants de longue date ayant effectu\u00e9 des retraites traditionnelles de trois ans pour l\u2019aspect de la pratique m\u00e9ditative, ainsi que par des \u00e9tudiants de l\u2019Institut pour l\u2019aspect philosophique.<\/p>

En tant que points d\u2019acc\u00e8s \u00e0 l\u2019enseignement du Bouddha, les membres des KTT sont amen\u00e9s \u00e0 recevoir un public novice int\u00e9ress\u00e9 et \u00e0 l\u2019 introduire aux fondements du bouddhisme. Cela requiert une bonne connaissance du bouddhisme de mani\u00e8re g\u00e9n\u00e9rale et de la lign\u00e9e karma kagy\u00fc en particulier. Initialement, un programme intitul\u00e9 \u00ab formation instructeur des KTT \u00bb avait pris place il y a quelques ann\u00e9es. Lama Jigm\u00e9 Rinpoch\u00e9 a conseill\u00e9 d\u2019aborder certains th\u00e8mes et notions de mani\u00e8re plus pr\u00e9cise \u00e0 pr\u00e9sent. Afin d\u2019\u00e9quiper les membres des KTT qui le souhaitent des notions fondamentales du bouddhisme, de son histoire et de ses diff\u00e9rents chemins, un programme en immersion<\/strong> \u00e0 Dhagpo Kagyu Ling et Dhagpo Kundreul Ling est propos\u00e9 sur deux semaines<\/strong>, bas\u00e9 sur la restitution d\u2019un enseignement de khenpo<\/em> Ch\u00f6drak Rinpoch\u00e9.<\/p>

Du 27 octobre au 2 novembre 2025, une vingtaine de membres issus de diff\u00e9rents KTT de France se sont r\u00e9unis \u00e0 Dhagpo Kundreul Ling<\/a> pour s\u2019impr\u00e9gner de la pratique dans ses trois aspects<\/strong> : l\u2019apprentissage du Dharma, la pratique m\u00e9ditative et une participation active \u00e0 la vie du lieu.<\/p>
\"\"<\/td>\"\"<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>

Avec des \u00e9tudiants de l\u2019Institut de Dhagpo, ils ont donc \u00e9tudi\u00e9 une introduction au bouddhisme<\/strong> ainsi qu\u2019une approche de l\u2019histoire du bouddhisme<\/strong> illustr\u00e9e in situ<\/em> par les fresques murales du temple. Des temps d\u2019\u00e9tude en groupe \u00e9taient pr\u00e9vus dans la journ\u00e9e ainsi que des moments de partage de l\u2019activit\u00e9 du lieu<\/strong> (m\u00e9nage, menus travaux, etc.) avec les r\u00e9sidents. En fin d\u2019apr\u00e8s-midi, un temps d\u2019\u00e9changes \u00e9tait programm\u00e9 avec diff\u00e9rents enseignants qui se rendent r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement dans les KTT.<\/p>

Afin de poursuivre et d\u2019approfondir leur apprentissage ensemble<\/strong> apr\u00e8s cette premi\u00e8re semaine, les \u00e9tudiants enthousiastes ont constitu\u00e9 des groupes d\u2019\u00e9tude en ligne<\/strong>.<\/p>

Ils se sont retrouv\u00e9s pour une seconde semaine<\/strong> qui s\u2019est d\u00e9roul\u00e9e du 13 au 19 avril 2026 \u00e0 Dhagpo Kagyu Ling<\/strong>, cette fois-ci. Leur \u00e9tude avait pour th\u00e8me les diff\u00e9rents v\u00e9hicules de la pratique bouddhique. Immerg\u00e9s dans la vie du lieu, les \u00e9tudiants ont aussi eu l\u2019opportunit\u00e9 de d\u00e9couvrir Dhagpo et ses membres actifs au quotidien en \u0153uvrant \u00e0 leurs c\u00f4t\u00e9s en cuisine, \u00e0 la biblioth\u00e8que, au jardin ou autre.<\/p>

La semaine s\u2019est conclue<\/strong> par un \u00e9change avec lama Jigm\u00e9 Rinpoch\u00e9 \u00e0 la requ\u00eate des \u00e9tudiants. Jigm\u00e9 Rinpoch\u00e9<\/strong> a salu\u00e9 leur engagement au sein des KTT en expliquant :<\/p><\/div>

Mettre en contact avec le Dharma des personnes int\u00e9ress\u00e9es constitue l\u2019activit\u00e9 m\u00eame d\u2019un bodhisattva comme Karmapa. <\/em>En faisant cela, vous vous inscrivez directement dans cette activit\u00e9. <\/em>C\u2019est quelque chose de tr\u00e8s important. Il importe peu que l\u2019on soit un petit ou un grand KTT, l\u2019essentiel est d\u2019offrir aux gens la possibilit\u00e9 de se connecter au Dharma du Bouddha<\/em><\/p>

[\/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Intro\" _builder_version=\"4.27.6\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]<\/p>

Il a aussi rappel\u00e9 que cet apprentissage est utile pour soi-m\u00eame et son propre cheminement et qu\u2019il ne s\u2019agit pas de l\u2019envisager comme une formation qui permettrait d\u2019acqu\u00e9rir un statut ou une position.<\/p>

Ce programme sera reconduit chaque ann\u00e9e et toute personne int\u00e9ress\u00e9e est la bienvenue pour le rejoindre.<\/p>

Je fais partie du bureau d\u2019un KTT, avec habituellement beaucoup d\u2019activit\u00e9s, d\u2019organisation.<\/em><\/p>

Et cette semaine, on a des journ\u00e9es enti\u00e8res pour se consacrer \u00e0 la pratique en action, en m\u00e9ditation et en enseignement. Je trouve \u00e7a bien de pouvoir vraiment s\u2019adonner pendant une semaine enti\u00e8re \u00e0 ne faire que cela, de ne pas rentrer chez soi, sans les habitudes qui reprennent le dessus. On a vraiment le temps de s\u2019immerger, d\u2019approfondir un peu plus<\/strong>. Le rythme est soutenu mais \u00e7a passe vite.<\/em><\/p>

Apr\u00e8s l\u2019enseignement<\/strong>, on participe \u00e0 l\u2019activit\u00e9<\/strong> pendant deux heures et on aide dans diff\u00e9rents secteurs. Personnellement, j\u2019aime bien cela, parce que \u00e7a permet de mieux conna\u00eetre le lieu, les activit\u00e9s (moi je connaissais Dhagpo mais pas Kundreul Ling). Et puis \u00e7a permet de conna\u00eetre les personnes.<\/em>
Apr\u00e8s le repas, on a des groupes d\u2019\u00e9tudes<\/strong>. C\u2019est int\u00e9ressant parce qu\u2019on reprend \u00e0 plusieurs ce qu\u2019on a vu les jours pr\u00e9c\u00e9dents ou le jour m\u00eame.<\/em>
On relit ensemble, chacun partage sa compr\u00e9hension. L\u2019ann\u00e9e derni\u00e8re, il y avait un restituteur qui passait dans les groupes. Cette ann\u00e9e, on est en autonomie. Puis on revient avec des questions \u00e9ventuelles sur le texte aupr\u00e8s des restituteurs, lors de la session suivante. Ces \u00e9changes sont vraiment tr\u00e8s enrichissants.<\/em><\/p>

C\u2019est aussi comme cela qu\u2019on fait des liens avec les autres centres<\/strong>, et qu\u2019apr\u00e8s ces liens perdurent. Quand on vient \u00e0 Dhagpo, c\u2019est aussi cela qu\u2019on recherche, les id\u00e9es qu\u2019on peut avoir de ce que font d\u2019autres groupes dans les KTT, de voir aussi que les difficult\u00e9s qu\u2019on a, elles sont partag\u00e9es par les autres groupes, donc on se sent quelque part moins seul.<\/em><\/p>

Plusieurs membres du KTT participent aussi aux retraites du Cursus Chenrezik mais on n\u2019avait pas du tout fait de formation d\u2019instructeur, donc on red\u00e9marre avec cette nouvelle formule.<\/em><\/p>

Dans le Cursus Chenrezik, on a \u00e9tudi\u00e9 les agr\u00e9gats, et maintenant c\u2019est <\/em>l\u2019Abhidharmakosha. On a un groupe d\u2019\u00e9tudes sur ces sujets. On acquiert plein de notions par les diff\u00e9rents enseignements, mais quand on accueille des nouvelles personnes qui nous posent des questions, on n\u2019ose pas encore trop se lancer dans les explications, car l\u2019histoire du bouddhisme, ce n\u2019\u00e9tait pas encore forc\u00e9ment tr\u00e8s clair.<\/em><\/p>

En fait, c\u2019est aussi cela qu\u2019on est venu chercher, avoir plus d\u2019informations, pour aussi int\u00e9grer les notions, \u00e0 force de r\u00e9p\u00e9ter, et puis d\u2019\u00eatre plus \u00e0 l\u2019aise apr\u00e8s, pour pouvoir r\u00e9pondre<\/strong> aux questions des personnes qui viennent au KTT.<\/em><\/p>

Le fait de r\u00e9p\u00e9ter, de r\u00e9entendre les choses, parfois sous diff\u00e9rentes fa\u00e7ons, permet petit \u00e0 petit d\u2019int\u00e9grer les diff\u00e9rentes notions.<\/em><\/p>

En fait, j\u2019appr\u00e9cie ces p\u00e9riodes d\u2019\u00e9tudes sur deux semaines. Les premiers modules qu\u2019il y avait il y a quelques ann\u00e9es, c\u2019\u00e9tait sur 15 jours d\u2019affil\u00e9e. \u00c0 pr\u00e9sent, c\u2019est en deux fois une semaine dans deux lieux diff\u00e9rents. Personnellement, j\u2019appr\u00e9cie cela, \u00e7a permet d\u2019approfondir et de d\u00e9couvrir les lieux<\/strong>, et d\u2019apprendre dans un cadre favorable.<\/em><\/p>

L\u2019alternance<\/strong> de restitutions, de m\u00e9ditation, d\u2019\u00e9tudes en petits groupes personnels et d\u2019activit\u00e9s est tr\u00e8s compl\u00e9mentaire. Avec la m\u00e9ditation et l\u2019\u00e9tude, on apprend, on approfondit et on int\u00e8gre les informations. Et c\u2019est une forme de mise en application du partage<\/strong>, on donne du temps pour aider \u00e0 la vie du lieu, soit au monast\u00e8re de Kundreul Ling ou \u00e0 Dhagpo. C\u2019est n\u00e9cessaire aussi pour que le lieu existe<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>

J\u2019avais d\u00e9j\u00e0 re\u00e7u des explications de diff\u00e9rents textes. Mais l\u00e0, c\u2019est un enseignement particulier d\u2019un <\/em>khenpo, donn\u00e9 de fa\u00e7on tr\u00e8s ordonn\u00e9e, tr\u00e8s structur\u00e9e. Cette \u00e9tude permet moins d\u2019interpr\u00e9tations de ma part, si je me rapproche du texte qui nous est transmis.<\/em><\/p>

Durant le temps de restitution, c\u2019est plus li\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9coute, de revisiter, d\u2019approfondir nos connaissances. Apr\u00e8s, dans les temps de partages en groupes<\/strong>, on revient pour voir ou confronter nos compr\u00e9hensions, nos lectures et revenir dessus, parce qu\u2019en fait, on oublie vite. Parfois, il y a des questions qui s\u2019\u00e9l\u00e8vent et les autres nous apportent des \u00e9l\u00e9ments de r\u00e9ponse. Et puis si on ne trouve pas, on revient vers les restituteurs pour avoir des pr\u00e9cisions.<\/em>
Cela se fait sans concurrence, sans atteinte d\u2019objectifs pr\u00e9d\u00e9finis, particuliers. \u00c7a avance de fa\u00e7on naturelle.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>

En participant \u00e0 ces semaines de formation, cela me permet d\u2019une part d\u2019am\u00e9liorer mes connaissances, et ensuite de pouvoir accueillir et transmettre de fa\u00e7on plus juste \u00e0 des personnes qui arrivent au KTT, surtout pour l\u2019histoire du bouddhisme.<\/em>
Parce que ce sont des questions qui viennent assez souvent des personnes qui d\u00e9couvrent le KTT. Ces personnes viennent d\u00e9couvrir le bouddhisme et se demandent ce que c\u2019est, ou bien elles viennent d\u00e9couvrir la m\u00e9ditation, et se demandent dans quel cadre \u00e7a se passe.<\/em>
Cela permet d\u2019avoir un peu les id\u00e9es claires sur ces sujets et de partager de bonnes informations.<\/em><\/p>
