The article reports on the inauguration of a new Dharma center in Lisbon, Portugal. The esteemed Tibetan Buddhist teacher and Dzogchen adept, Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche, personally inaugurated the Dharma House Lisbon on July 3. This new center of Buddhist practice is affiliated with Rinpoche’s global Dharma activities.
Dharma House Lisbon was founded with the vision of creating a venue where practitioners in Europe could receive authentic teachings of the Buddhadharma and engage with meditative practices in the Tibetan tradition. The center is located in the village of Azenhas do Mar, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, and is a short distance from Lisbon and a 40-minute drive from Lisbon Airport.
During the inauguration, Rinpoche gave his first in-person Dharma teaching at the new center. He emphasized the qualities of the Buddha and the importance of practicing the Buddhist teachings. Rinpoche is considered to be one of the greatest living masters of the Dzogchen or “Great Perfection” tradition of Vajrayana Buddhism.
