Buddhist Center Staufenberg – Drikung Namchak Mebar Dzong
The Buddhist Center Staufenberg follows the tradition of the Drikung lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. For many years the spiritual leadership was held by Lho Ontul Rinpoche and is now continued by his son, Lho Ratna Rinpoche. Within this living ontinuity, a practice is cultivated that is deeply rooted in the tradition while remaining open and relevant for people today. We bring together study, meditation, and direct experience. Supported by experienced practitioners, we present the three paths of Buddhism as a living way toward recognizing the nature of the mind.
A place for stillness, depth, and genuine encounter.

Support the 3-year retreat of Lho Ratna Rinpoche and Khenchen Nyima Gyaltsän
With your contribution, you will have a direct impact on deepening the roots of mindfulness and compassion. In the Buddhist tradition, the merit for the sponsor is as great as that for the retreat leader. Your contribution will therefore bear double fruit – for you and for all sentient beings. You help ensure that our spiritual teachers in Bhutan have the best conditions to deepen their practice undisturbed. Even small amounts have a big impact. Every dollar goes directly toward food, accommodation, and equipment for Lho Ratna Rinpoche (spiritual leader of our center Drikung Namchag Mebar Dzong / Buddhist Center Staufenberg e.V.) and Khenchen Nyima Gyaltsän (connected to our parent monastery in Tibet).
