Drukpa

Drukpa The Drukpa Lineage, also known as the Dragon Order, is a spiritual lineage of enlightened yogis such as the 3 Madmen (Tsang Nyon, Unyon and Drukpa Kunleg).
(3)

The Drukpa Buddhists follow the Mahayana Buddhist tradition in philosophy, i.e. the philosophy of "getting enlightened for the benefit of others" and the methods are based on the Tantrayana teachings passed down from the great Indian saint Naropa, born in 1016. "Druk" means "Dragon" and it also refers to the sound of thunder. In 1206, the first Gyalwang Drukpa, Naropa’s reincarnation, saw nine dra

gons fly up into the sky from the ground of Namdruk, and he named his lineage "Drukpa" or "lineage of the Dragons" after this auspicious event. Today, the Drukpa Lineage sprawls over major parts of the Himalayas, especially in Ladakh, Kinnaur and Lahaul-Spiti in India, as well as Bhutan and Nepal. Bhutan, also known as “Druk Yul” or “Land of Thunder Dragons”, honours the Drukpa Lineage as its state religion. The lineage is also widely practiced in many countries throughout the world, especially Vietnam, another nation deeply influenced by the legends of “Dragons”.

Together Towards the Future – a Pad Yatra through Norway led by the Gyalwang Drukpa

Under the guidance of Gyalwang Drukpa, the Pad Yatra continues through Norway's natural landscape. The event is joined by Gyalwa Dokhampa, the Live to Love Germany team, international Sangha members and devotees.

The Gyalwang Drukpa has been highlighting the importance of appreciation and acknowledgement for nature, including everything from the air, to trees, to waterways. Everything is very fresh in its natural state, free of pollution. The Gyalwang Drukpa also encouraged all to rest the mind on nature, and try experiencing it without fabrication. He further gave teachings about the nature of our mind, which is similar to the waves of a lake.

We live in a world where so much can change beyond our control.

Our health can change. Relationships change. Success comes and goes. Wealth can be gained and lost...
Even the positions and identities that once made us feel secure may not remain.

For centuries, practitioners have turned to Tara in times of difficulty and fear.

🌿 Drolma Tara made the vast aspiration to protect beings from suffering and danger, support their beneficial wishes, and ultimately guide them towards awakening.

The wisdom of Tara is not simply about asking for our problems to disappear.

Her blessings are said to arise together with our own merit, bringing not only favourable conditions but the wisdom to relate to them well.

▪️If we have wealth, can we use it without attachment?
▪️If we have influence, can we turn it towards benefiting others?
▪️And when life becomes uncertain, can we meet that uncertainty without allowing fear to determine how we live?

Tara’s wisdom reminds us that we cannot always change what life brings, but we can always transform the way we meet it.

🇨🇵 On 𝟐𝟗 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭, Gyalwa Dokhampa will make a visit to Paris to offer teachings and the empowerment of Tara—an opportunity to encounter this timeless wisdom.

Registration is open until 𝟐𝟎 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭, subject to availability. You can find the registration link and full event details in the comments below.

We very much look forward to welcoming you in Paris. And if you know someone who may benefit from these teachings, please help us 𝐬𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦.

Message from the Gyalwang Drukpa

The news that the Ladakh dPal rNgam Award 2026 is being awarded to me came a totally unexpected yet pleasant surprise. I wish to thank the concerned authorities of Union Territory of Ladakh for considering me deserving of the highest civilian award of UT Ladakh.

My devotees, students and friends appreciate conferring this prestigious award upon me as recognition of the work done over many decades in the field of environmental conservation, education, healthcare, gender equality, women empowerment, cultural preservation and social and spiritual development through various campaigns in the form of tree plantation, public teachings like the Hemis Winter Festival, Pad Yatras and Cycle Yatras, etc. It is also acknowledgement of the selfless and relentless efforts of the participants in these campaigns who continue to carry on the work without any expectation of rewards.

Conferring this award to me, I am sure, will inspire many more people to get involved in such campaigns to make the world a better place. This will further make the earth a healthier and happier place, temporarily free from epidemics, conflicts and starvation, and ultimately, from the Buddhist perspective, liberate all beings from cyclic rebirth in samsara.

ཨོཾ་སྭསྟི། བྱམས་དང་བརྩེ་བས་འགྲོ་ཀུན་བུ་བཞིན་གཟིགས། །
གང་ལ་གང་འདོད་ཕན་བདེའི་བདུད་རྩི་འབེབས། །
ཆོས་ཀྱི་སྒྲ་དབྱངས་འགྲོ་བར་རྨོངས་གཉིད་སློང་། །
