Drubkang
Since 1999 three-year-retreats take place in Dedrol Ling.
All different retreat groups have been guided by the Lamas Henrik and Walli as well as by the Druplas Stephane and Marlene, who are also responsible for the transmission of the ritual aspects.
The necessary empowerments were given by Shamar Rinpoche, Beru Khyentse Rinpoche and Lama Jigme Rinpoche. In 1999 a group of practitioners started the first traditional 3-year-retreat. Before they could start they had to transform the old stables into a Drubkang with all the required facilities.
In 2002 a second and larger group extented the Drubkang by constructing a second building with additional rooms and a bathroom. The second retreat cycle lasted from 2003 to 2006.
Both groups did the program of the traditional three year retreat.
From 2007 to 2010 a third group of practitioners completed a new cycle with a slightly modified program. In this foundation retreat, which also lasted three years and three months, they were practicing intensively the preliminary practices (Ngöndro), Bodhicitta (Lojong), Guru Yogas as well as Shiné and Lhaktong.
