Karma Ling

Description

Karma Ling is a center for Buddhist study and practice affiliated with the Sangha Dachang Rimay community, located in the Hameau de Saint-Hugon in Arvillard, Savoie.

In 1979, a small group of Buddhist practitioners acquired the old Carthusian monastery of Saint Hugon to restore and offer it to the Tibetan master Kalu Rinpoche. Kalu Rinpoche then consecrated the place, named it "Karma Chedrup Chö Ling" and entrusted its spiritual direction to one of his principal disciples in the West, Lama Denys. It eventually became one of the most important centers for the study and practice of Buddhism in France. The 14th Dalai Lama (Tenzin Gyatso) gave teachings there in 1993 and 1997.
