Path Programs

“Everyone can shine and share
and learn to lead a meaningful life.
Everyone includes you!”

All programs at the World Peace Stupa Center in Winterswijk are rooted in the timeless wisdom of the Buddha.

Our spiritual guide Tarthang Rinpoche has developed many ways to make insights into the nature of mind, the causes of suffering and our inherent potential for realisation accessible for a non dogmatic and non religious Western audience.  His books, available in Dutch, English and German adress topics like freedom, caring and a natural joy of being in fresh ways that anybody can acces from his or her direct experience. You do not have to become a Buddhist to choose a path of freedom, appreciation and caring.

Online weekly classes

Most of our retreats align very well with ongoing online class programs offered by our city centers in Amsterdam and Köln. Some are even directly part of these ongoing path programs which are offered through the city centers. If you are interested in continued study and practice in small groups led by well trained instructors you can find links to those in the retreat description.

You can find ongoing courses in Dutch or English at the website of Nyingma Centrum Nederland and courses in German at the website of Nyingma Zentrum Deutschland.

Work as practice

Characteristic for the Nyingma Buddhist tradition is to take your life and work as your practice and transform your daily life and work situations into a journey toward fullfilment. Making work into your path is the precious reward of the volunteer work at the Stupa Center. Are you interested in joining this path of action and contributing work while learning and growing? We invite you to join one of our project programs or check out the volunteer page.
