Buddhist Congregation Dharmaling

Following primarily the Gelug lineage, the head of the organization, Lama Shenphen Rinpoche – a Western reborn and officially recognized tulku by the Tibetan community[3] – has a non sectarian (Rime) type of approach.

[4] Dharmaling now exists as a registered religious community in Slovenia and Hungary, and as non profit organization in Austria and Russia.

The main transmission of teaching and practices is coming from the Gelug tradition, but also from Nyingma and Kagyu schools.

[5] Lama Shenphen Rinpoche teaches regularly the root traditional texts: “The 37 practices of a Bodhisattva”, “Lam Rim”, “The Wheel of Sharp Weapons”, “The Heart Sutra”, “Lojong”, but also giving teachings on more general subjects to highlight the understanding of some concepts and find a corresponding way to practice them in everyday life.

Among such subjects are “Peace and Emptiness”, “How to deal with emotions”, “Entering the Vajrayana Path”, and “Practice of Bodhicitta in every day life”.
