Welcome to Dhagpo Switzerland

« Peace comes through compassion and wisdom. Simply by generating compassion and wisdom for others, we can bring great peace to ourselves and thus to all those around us.»

A network of drops in the ocean

Dhagpo Switzerland is an association founded on 14 November 2021. It sees itself as a network of Dharma practitioners with supportive connections to other Dharma related organisations and centres.

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