Dzokden Kalapa is the first center in the world to offer the complete Jonang Kalachakra path—from ngöndro through the completion stage—to Western household practitioners in their own languages. Nowhere else in the world does this exist.
This rare and precious offering depends upon stable conditions. It is essential that we build a strong financial foundation to ensure the long-term sustainability of this retreat center, so that the Dzokden Dharma may take root and flourish in Europe for generations to come.
“Kalapa is not simply a place; it is a living mandala in which each member is an essential part of the arising of a new Golden Age.”

Clarity Protects and Empowers the Community Vision
Membership does not guarantee retreat access or specific outcomes; it is an ongoing mutual commitment. For details, see the complete membership terms.
I am Barbara, from Brazil. I live in Austria for 20 years. I am student of Khentrul Rinpoche already a few years.I am a member of Dzokden Kalapa since last year will always continue to be a member. Kalapa is for me a second home where I can enjoy great opportunities to engage in Dharma service and practice.It is for me a refuge, where I am able to practice Dharma and spend unique quality time. The atmosphere, the dharma brothers and sisters living there, the temple, the Stupa, the beauty of nature makes Kalapa one of the most special locations ever. It’s perfect for those who want to dedicate seriously to the practice of Dharma. It is an honor to be a member, as it increases my connection with Rinpoche and his mission as well.

How can I upgrade or downgrade my membership?
You may request to upgrade or downgrade your membership level at any time, based on your capacity and circumstances.
