« 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. »

Love and Compassion
Approaching the 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva
After his last visit in 2023, Thaye Dorje, His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa, is visiting Europe again in 2024. This year’s Dharma tour takes him to some of his principal centres in Germany, France, and Spain, where he will meet with thousands of students and give Dharma talks and empowerments.
Karmapa’s first destination is Dhagpo Möhra, located in the midst of a lovely landscape in the heart of Germany, in Thuringia. Established almost 20 years ago in 2005, the centre has greatly evolved since Karmapa’s visit in 2008.
