Updated 26 August with new videos! Rigpa’s stupa project will see the construction of stupas in Lerab Ling, Dzogchen Beara, and Dharma Mati in Berlin as well as 25 small stupas for Rigpa centres around the world. The project is entering an exciting phase with construction starting in the coming weeks.
Something extraordinary will soon be happening right here at Dharma Mati in the heart of Berlin—the construction of a new Stupa. What a rare sight in the middle of a Western city! Orgyen Tobgyal Rinpoche specifically chose the Stupa of Vitality (or Stupa of Complete Victory), for Dharma Mati. This type of stupa is associated with longevity and is believed to promote the long life of the masters and practitioners who uphold the Dharma. How can we all help to bring this to fruition?
The first gatherings and events in the new Dzogchen Beara Temple in July were an immense celebration of a long, beautiful journey and were filled with love, auspiciousness and joy. The occasion was shared with the local Beara community, supporters, and the international Rigpa Sangha, and was blessed by the presence of one of the longest supporters of Dzogchen Beara, Ringu Tulku Rinpoche.

On Saturday 2 July 2022, Mindrolling Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche and Khenchen Namdrol Rinpoche formally entrusted the first generation of Rigpa’s Western Buddhist Teachers.

It is with great sadness and sorrow that we share the news that Mayum Tsering Wangmo, beloved mother of Sogyal Rinpoche, Dzogchen Rinpoche, Thigyal and Dechen Lakar and the elder sister of Khandro Tsering Chodrön, has passed away, merging her mind with the dharmadatu.
