Zangdok Palri Institute

Dzogchen Ranyak Patrul Rinpoche has founded the Zangdok Palri Institute as a support for the study and practice of Buddhist philosophy.PR Tibet 2002

Courses at the institute explore Buddhist wisdom and, especially, the very precious traditon of the Longchen Nyingthik.

These courses provide us with an extremely rare opportunity to study and practice the authentic path of self-liberation under the compassionate gaze and wise counsel of authentic teachers.

The Zangdok Palri Institute runs two types of courses. One is a six-year degree course for Dzogchen practitioners and the other is a non-degree course in general Buddhist studies.

The Zangdok Palri Institute also organises other important events like Drupchen retreats or even - when the circumstances are favourable - journeys to Dzogchen.

The summary of Patrul Rinpoche's schedule is available here, or in printable format (EN, FR).
