THE FRENCH KAGYÜ MÖNLAM 2025 - June 18 to 22

This year, Lama Sangyay Tendzin, hosts the French Kagyü Mönlam in celebration of the 25th anniversary of THEG-CHOG NORBU LING®, a Karma Kagyü retreat sanctuary established by him under the benevolence of His Holiness Karmapa, who named it in 1997.

At this occasion, Lama invited the Venerable Drubpön Dechen Rinpoche to preside the event. Everyone concerned with universal peace and wishing to dedicate time to recite the profound aspiration prayers of the Kagyü Mönlam, is cordially invited to this event.

Situated in a remote forest area on the High plateau of the Corbières in Aude, the location is away from the turmoil of large cities. It is ideal for meditation retreat.
