Meditation center of the Drikung-Kagyu-Lineage in Mainzlar, Germany.
In the middle of Hesse, between Giessen and Marburg, in the middle of a gently undulating landscape, the Staufenberg Buddhist Center is located in the Mainzlar district, well integrated into the village.
Anyone who wants to is invited to take part in Sangha life, including joint tsogs, lama visits, school classes, store and library.
The apartments are very suitable for people who wish to take up a long-term retreat.
We offer regular support if required - Sabine lives in the center as a professional and spiritual holder, Rita has completed a 3-year retreat.

Dear Dharma friends,
Unfortunately Ratna Rinpoche did not receive a visa. The German Embassy was probably afraid that Rinpoche would not return.
We regret this very much and at the same time are looking for ways to invite Rinpoche to the center in the spring.
Of course, costs have still been incurred. We are trying to share these with the other centers. We will have to see whether we can do this in full.
For those who have paid the course fees in advance: Please be patient a little longer - Rita will do the accounting promptly and transfer the money back to you.
We would also like to introduce you to two projects that we have agreed with Rinpoche.
- the relic stupa with ashes and relics of Lho Ontrul Rinpoche.
It will be about 70 cm high and will stand in the shrine of the center. Because Staufenberg is the only place in Europe where Ontrul Rinpoche was center director, Ratna Rinpoche wants it to stand here. The stupa will cost around 2500 euros. We ask you for donations to realize this wish of Ratna Rinpoche and us. - retreat donations for the 3 year retreat of Ratna Rinpoche
The merit of the person who conducts the retreat and those who support him is the same. Therefore it is very meritorious to support Rinpoche for this time. Please contact Rita to discuss the details (one-time donation, standing order, etc). We can issue donation receipts for the amount
Thank you very much for your support!
