Our City Groups
In order to provide sangha members and all interested persons with the opportunity of studying and practising Buddhism as close to home as possible, several meditation groups have been established in a number of cities. Each of these has its own individual programme, ranging from weekly meditation sessions to study groups and weekend seminars. Further information about the groups is available from the local organizers (see below) and from Kamalashila Institute at +49 2655 9390-40.
In addition to Kamalashila’s city groups, which are run by the two resident lamas Acharya Lama Sönam Rabgye and Acharya Lama Kelzang Wangdi, there are many other Buddhist centres and meditation groups throughout Germany that belong to the Karma Kagyu Gemeinschaft Deutschland e.V. A list of these centres and groups is available here.
Another very inspiring series of courses is MEDITATION AND DAILY LIFE. These courses are offered in Cologne-Neuehrenfeld by our resident lamas at regular intervals throughout the year (mainly in German).
