Welcome to Dhagpo Switzerland

« Peace arises from compassion and wisdom. Simply by generating compassion and wisdom for others, we can bring great peace to ourselves and thus to all the people around us. »

A network of drops in the ocean

Dhagpo Switzerland is an association that was founded on 14 November 2021. It sees itself as a network of Dharma practitioners that feels connected to and supportive of other Dharma organisations and centres.

«Dhagpo» is a Tibetan term referring to a region in southern Tibet, from which one of the founding fathers of the Kagyu lineage, Gampopa (1079-1153), originated. The Kagyu lineage is one of the four main lineages of Tibetan Buddhism.
