Lama Nygyam is completely unknown to the 170 people present in the Institute. When he enters the room, the silence is complete. He prostrates before the altar and places his golden monk's shawl over his shoulders. Each gesture is composed. He settles onto the throne and, for this first session of powa retreat, he transmits the ritual reading of the commentary.
In response to Thaye Dorje, the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa's request, and to support Lama Jigme Rinpoche's health and activity, several sessions of accumulation of his long life prayer are carried out daily at Dhagpo.

“Anyone who applies the Buddha's teaching will discover its reality in his own mind.”
This is, essentially, what Khenpo Chodrak Rinpoche tells us during the summer course, which takes place during three weeks every summer at Dhagpo Kagyu Ling.

Dhagpo, May 7, 2016
Dear Friends,
We strive to keep you regularly up-to-date about important news concerning Dhagpo.
Recently, Jigme Rinpoche informed Karmapa that he had cancelled some of his travels in Asia for health reasons. In response, Karmapa sent us a new long life prayer that he had composed for Rinpoche. Furthermore, he requested that we recite this prayer daily. We wish to share this information with you in order to encourage as many people as possible to support Rinpoche's activity by reciting this prayer.
All those who have known Rinpoche for several years realize how precious his teachings and his activity are to us, as much through the profundity of the teachings he offers during his courses as through the vastness of his activity in Europe and Asia as Karmapa's secretary and elsewhere in the world where he is ever more frequently invited to teach.
Rinpoche is a bodhisattva whose actions arise naturally according to the needs of beings. It is thus our responsibility, as practitioners and students who follow his teachings, to express our wish that his activity continues. Reciting this prayer is an excellent means of doing so.
It is for this reason that the community of Dhagpo has committed to offering Rinpoche an accumulation of 100,000 of these prayers for his coming birthday on August 15th. If you would like to join in this accumulation, please send the count of your recited prayers by e-mail to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or note them in the notebook available for this purpose in the temple.
With our best wishes for your practice,
The Community of Dhagpo
Du 23 mars au 5 avril 2016, Thayé Dorjé, Sa Sainteté le XVIIe Gyalwa Karmapa, était en courte visite privée au monastère de Kundreul Ling en Auvergne. Initialement, le but de ce séjour était exclusivement de transmettre les initiations nécessaires aux personnes se préparant à entrer en retraite traditionnelle de trois ans le 21 mai prochain.
Une fois ces transmissions achevées, Karmapa a exceptionnellement accepté de donner une initiation publique aux personnes résidant aux alentours de Kundreul Ling. Cet événement imprévu a du être organisé à la dernière minute.

At the dawn of the Tibetan New Year, the year of the fire monkey, Dhagpo's fortieth anniversary comes to a close.
Lama Jigme Rinpoche recalls key moments in the early phases of Dhagpo's existence.
Peace is complete awareness.In this state of awareness, we cultivate and combine compassion and wisdom.
In this state of awareness, we are alive, awake; we take responsibility for our actions. [...]
As of several years, Lama Jigme Rinpoche has been progressively putting in place, with patience, benevolence, and trust, the best conditions possible so that our Dharma practice can take root based on the three aspects of practice: study, meditation, and activity.
