« We have to really rejoice and appreciate that due to our merit, due to our own sweat, due to our own strength and courage from our past lives, we have all these opportunities here now. We also have to appreciate the timeless aspirations made by all the Buddhas, all the Bodhisattvas of the past, as well as the present, because it is really due to their wishes, due to their aspirations that our efforts have a result. So these two wonderful conditions have come together. This is our result, this is why all of us are here. »

Dharma Village
On the initiative of Lama Jigme Rinpoche and in close consultation with H.H. the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa Thaye Dorje, a housing complex was built on the outskirts of the village of Möhra. This is a place where people who feel close to the Dhagpo Möhra centre have been living since 2013. Together, they can create a daily life in harmony with Buddhist teachings and ethics, in which the values of mindfulness, awareness, compassion and joy are lived, regardless of age and social background.
