Who we are

Everyone is welcome

Phuntsok Chö Ling is an open Buddhist center: Everyone is welcome to come and learn about meditation and the Buddhist path. We organize meditation courses, readings, meditation weekends and retreats. After an initial introduction to meditation, you can continue your studies with us. On every evening of the week in our temple there's a class at a different level. 

Peace in your daily life

At Puntsok Chö Ling you receive lessons from the Tibetan teacher Lama Jigmé Namgyal who introduces you to the Buddhist view of life in a manner that's accessible to everyone. He gives instruction on the workings of your mind, and how you can bring peace to it. His teachings bring more depth to your meditation, which in turn has an effect on your everyday life. 

Our objective

With the guidance of Lama Jigmé our aim is to build a bridge between an ancient cultural tradition of peace, wisdom and compassion, and the contemporary Western manner of living. Tibetan Buddhism has a unique vision of the well-being and happiness of human beings. With this as our basis, Phuntsok Chö Ling hopes to contribute to making our society more peaceful by starting at the individual level with meditation, study and following the teachings as a means to this end. In doing so, we create peace from within ourselves, thereby providing a peaceful example wherever we go.
