The Xuanfa Dharmazentrum is a place for people who sincerely wish to walk the Buddhist path in an authentic way. Founded in Cologne in 2009, we now mostly practice Vajrayana Buddhism online, following the direct transmission lineage of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.
Cultivation and Dharma Practice
Self-Cultivation in Everyday Life
By cultivation, we mean the conscious effort of working on ourselves. This self-cultivation involves actively correcting our behavior in everyday life. By discarding bad habits and steadily building good ones, we establish the indispensable, pure foundation for any genuine spiritual progress.
Tantric Practice
Upon this foundation, we dedicate ourselves to Dharma practice. Specific methods, such as our main practice of Green Tara, help us remove karmic obstacles step by step and develop genuine Dharma powers over the course of our practice.
Studying the Dharma Discourses
To ensure we do not stray from the path in our practice, we study the direct Dharma discourses of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. These texts speak in a very clear language and meet us exactly where we stand in life today. They are our reliable compass.
Lineage and Community
Our Refuge Lineage
An unbroken refuge lineage guarantees that the Dharma is passed down powerfully and purely. Our center stands in the direct lineage of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, who, however, always emphasized that there is ultimately only one lineage in this world: Buddhism.
Personal Guidance and Sangha
The personal exchange with Gongjue Tuji Rinpoche provides individual guidance on the path. At the same time, our Sangha offers the valuable support needed to implement the teachings together in everyday life. Since we are growing beyond our region, we practice mostly online.
From Our Practice
The practice of Dharma takes place in everyday life. In the blog, Gongjue Tuji Rinpoche writes about his own experiences and shares impressions from his path.
