Kagyu Zamling Kunkyab is a Dharma centre under the direction of the Venerable Lama Mönlam. The centre belongs to the Kagyupa tradition and is placed under the authority of the seventeenth Karmapa Trinlay Thaye Dorje and H.H. fourteenth Kunzig Shamarpa, Mipham Tcheukyi Lodrö.
KZK belongs to the FFCK, French Fedaration of Karma Kagyu Centers.

hotel The KZK centre aims at spreading Buddha’s teachings according to the Karma Kagyu tradition so that a large number of people can get into contact, study and practice the Dharma.

The ultimate goal is of course that all living beings obtain the complete liberation from suffering. The benefits of a Dharma centre are not limited to the well-being of a small group. According to the Tibetan tradition the positive results of practice are dedicated to all living beings regardless of the fact that they are close to you or not. Only then does the centre fulfill its role as a place from which Buddha’s liberating activity truly radiates.

Nowaday, if the traditions of Tibetan Buddhism are to survive, the teachings will have to be made available to people all over the world.

 

The KZK centre is organised as a cultural association and a non profit organisation under French law 1901.

Two associations were established in 1988 to support the centre.

Karma Thek Soum Tcho Khor Ling (KTT) is concerned with the Buddhist religion in general.

Kagyu Zamling Kunkyab (KZK), the cultural association linked to KTT aims at preserving Tibetan craftsmanship as well as the cultural, artistic and spiritual heritage of the Tibetan civilisation and to make Tibet’s heritage known to the west.
An annual membership fee is required to participate in the centre’s activities. The management of the centre depends on donations from its active members and friends as well as on voluntary work.
offering

The financial participation to cover the expenses linked to the Lama's teachings is aimed at helping the centre and at developing the practice of offerings.
We wish everybody to help according to their means and motivation, on the basis of a suggested sum.
Traditionally, an offering is given for a teaching, but the act of giving is more important than the value of the gift. It is a way of expressing the importance the Dharma has for oneself.
