Dhagpo Switzerland is a network of Dharma practitioners from Switzerland that regularly meets online and onsite to practice together throughout the year. Once a year we hold a major Dharma event where we invite a master of the Karma Kagyu lineage and all those from the great Dhagpo Mandala who wish to come to Switzerland. For this event, we rent the large community hall at Männedorf/Zurich.

Dharma weekend with Nedo Rinpoche

September 2nd – 3rd, 2023 | Männedorf-Zürich

The atmosphere of the second major event of Dhagpo-Switzerland was characterised by a warm, friendly and interested international sangha. Nedo Rinpoche who is the Vajra Master of the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa Trinlay Thaye Dorje was our guest of honor this year. He gave inspiring and encouraging teachings on how to integrate the Dharma into everyday life and as well as empowerments on Chenresig, Amithaba and Amitayus.
Dhagpo Switzerland presented a “Pilgrimage to Sikkim”, with different stages: the origin of the great Dhagpo Mandala, the monasteries of the Karma Kagyu lineage in Rumtek, biographical information on Nedo Rinpoche and the meditation master Lama Choyeng, and on the planned temple project in Pakyong. The event was framed by a shared practice, a Milarepa Tsok puja and joyful gathering.
The education of the novices and nuns from the Karma Chokor Dechen nunnery in Rumtek, Sikkim, was supported with a fundraising activity.
