Ganden Ling Institute Program

- through Fabrice Groult

Published on

The first legally recognized Buddhist congregation of Gelugpa obedience in France, the Ganden Ling Institute continues the work begun in 1978 by its founder, the Venerable Dagpo Rinpoche. It works in collaboration with the “Institut Guépèle” association and the humanitarian and cultural association “Entraide Franco-Tibétaine”. The purpose of the Institutes is to transmit the teaching of the Buddha to those who so wish, in France and abroad, by allowing them to devote themselves to study, reflection and meditation.
