About Marfond…

Marfond, named Dhagpo Dedrol Ling (the place of ease resulting from inner freedom) by lama Gendun Rinpoche, is a growing buddhist community where lay buddhist participate in the activity of the center, study and practice the dharma, the Buddha‘s teaching.

The origins of Dhagpo Dedrol Ling lie in the donation of the place in 1996 to lama Gendun Rinpoche, who wished to create a non-monastic center for long term retreats.
Lama Henrik and lama Walli, lama Gendun Rinpoche´s disciples, fulfilled their master´s wish creating and constantly developing Dhagpo Dedrol Ling where now, under their guidance, the precious heredity of the Karma Kagyu lineage is preserved and transmitted: the Mahamudra teaching on nature of mind and the Six Yogas of Naropa.

The intensive spiritual activity of Dhagpo Dedrol Ling is also contributing to establish the meditative tradition in Europe.

We have done…

Thanks to donations we have been able to develop the center, according to the original wish. We have done :

• A Stupa
• A Drupkang (3 years retreat center) where the first retreat has been accomplished in 2002 by 6 people and where now a new group of 10 practitioners has began a second cycle
• The workshop
• The fitting up of the main living building with a temple
• An extension of the Drupkang to accommodate the actual group

We would like to do…

• A Retreat House for Karmapa
• A Retreat House for practitioners, with 12 rooms, a big temple, its own kitchen and sanitaries
