Vajradhara-Ling

Vajradhara-Ling is a center affiliated to the Karma Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism located in France in Normandy in the commune of Aubry-le-Panthou.

[1] Vajradhara-Ling is connected to Kagyu-Dzong in Paris, and both centers are linked to the 17th Karmapa, Orgyen Trinley Dorje.

Vajradhara-Ling, meaning « The garden of Vajradhara Buddha », was inaugurated in 1982 by Kalu Rinpoche, who entrusted the responsibility of the centre to his disciple, Lama Gyurme.

The prayer wheel contains 100 000 pages on which are printed mantras invocating Dorje Sempa, the Buddha of purification.

In August 2008, during a visit in France, the 14th Dalai Lama came to Vajradhara-Ling in particular to consecrate the place where the Temple will be constructed.
