Regular Practices
The Buddha taught that meditation, combined with listening to teachings and reflection, leads to the ultimate liberation from all suffering and to awakening. Meditative practices can be silent, recited, or chanted, with or without instruments.
The courses in the program at Dhagpo Kundreul Ling introduce us to these various meditative practices. It is then possible to practise them regularly, either alone or in a group, at home or in a centre. At Dhagpo Kundreul Ling, they are open to everyone.

March 2026
Sunday 1 – Monthly day of recitation of the Kagyu Monlam Wishing Prayers – Main temple
The practice of the Kagyu Monlam, or ‘Path of Aspiration of the Kagyü Lineage’, offers us the opportunity to recite together vast wishing prayers formulated by the buddhas and bodhisattvas, thus connecting us to their enlightened view and guidance.
“And so during the Kagyu Monlam, what we are trying to do for ourselves is to clear away confusion. It’s not really about becoming better at anything. There is no point and there is no need. But maybe there is a point in clearing away confusion, affliction. Practicing the methods in such a way is equivalent to wishing for the longevity and flourishing of such methods, precious methods, for the ceasing of all unfavorable conditions, such as disease and disasters, both natural and man-made, and for the blossoming of all goodness.” Thaye Dorje, His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa
