Welcome at Kagyü Samye Dzong Venice

 

17° KarmapaThe first Karma Kagyü Dharma center of Vajrayana Buddhism in Venice  leaded by His Holiness the 17° Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje.

The center was founded in April 2002 by the Venerable Lama Yeshe Losal Rinpoche, Abbot and Retreat Master of Kagyü Samye Ling monastery in Scotland, the very first Vajrayana Buddhist Center in the West.

The Kagyü Samye Dzong Venice Association is under the guidance of the Venerable Lama Yeshe Losal Rinpoche and Dr. Akong Tulku Rinpoche, Karma Kagyü Lineage Master, co-founder of the Kagyü Samye Ling Monastery and Tibetan medicine doctor.

Kagyü Samye Dzong Venice welcomes everybody, having as a main goal to be a place of peace, tranquility and meditation where the precious Karma Kagyü skillful means can be studied and practiced.

 

Events

Through the year the center organizes meetings and initiatives such as meditation retreats, days of practice and study on teachings, and also hosts teachers and masters from Samye Ling, inviting them to conduct retreats and give public conferences about Dharma topics.

Charlie has been teaching lucid dreaming since 2008. He has run courses and retreats in London and with Rob Nairn in South Africa. He is authorised to teach on this topic by Lama Yeshe Losal Rinpoche.

“I have done joint workshops with Charlie in London and consider him to be the most experienced and authentic practitioner of dream yoga teaching in Europe. He has been training since his teens and has developed both a practical and theoretical understanding of this subject, which I consider to be unique.” - Rob Nain (International meditation teacher and author of Living, Dreaming, Dying)
