Dhagpo Männedorf

Dhagpo Männedorf has its roots in 2022, when the first major event was organised by Dhagpo Switzerland. It is therefore directly part of the Dhagpo Switzerland network, which was founded in November 2021.

Lama Irene holds Dharma Days in Männedorf, which are thematically based on the main annual event organised by Dhagpo Switzerland, which has been held in Männedorf until now. There are also in-person events on the topics of Lodjong and White Tara. These Dharma Days are popular with people from further afield.

These activities are kindly supported by Jigme Rinpoche and the future will show how this diverse group of Dharma practitioners will evolve.

«Meditation is not about bringing thoughts to a halt, but about not being disturbed by these movements and resting in the natural state of the mind.»

«A bodhisattva is someone whose mind is full of loving-kindness and compassion and whose actions are purely for the benefit of others.»

– Jigme Rinpoche–
