When Tong-Nyi Nying-Je Ling opened in 1997 in Copenhagen, Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche gave it this name, which means Center for Wisdom & Compassion. These qualities represent our highest potential.
Mindfulness
Learn to connect effortlessly with the peace and joy that are at the center of your being and are available to you in every moment. The center offers general mindfulness courses and those directed more specifically at teaching ways to use mindfulness as a tool to work with troubling emotions and situations.
Retreat
Retreat offers the opportunity to train in mindfulness and to integrate the teachings with felt experience. It is a space to explore the path to true happiness with the support of your teachers and fellow students, and is a great help in bringing both mindfulness and compassion into your daily life.
Study Programs
The center offers courses in fundamental buddhist thought, practice and philosophy as well as more universal courses that are aimed to help us cultivate more peace, joy and compassion for our own benefit and for the benefit of the planet, its inhabitants and ecology.
Traditional Practice
Deity visualization, mantra chanting, sutra recitation, and prostration practices can become creative and playful opportunities for you to learn more about your inner self, with all of its many facets, and increase your feelings of self-acceptance and love.
