Français:

Afin d’assurer la survie et la préservation de la tradition Yungdrung Bön - la tradition spirituelle originelle du Tibet qui figure sans doute parmi les plus anciennes religions encore vivantes dans le monde moderne - Yongdzin Tenzin Namdak Rinpoché a créé en Anjou un centre monastique Bön : Shenten Dargye Ling. Reconnu en tant que Congrégation religieuse par l’Etat français le 30 juin

2006, Shenten Dargye Ling représente un réel espoir pour la préservation de la culture et de la pratique du Yungdrung Bön en Occident. Shenten Dargyé Ling est aussi un lieu où l’on pourra étudier d’autres domaines pratiques de cette tradition ancienne – médecine, astrologie, arts, langue tibétaine – en même temps que seront pratiquées les activités spirituelles et académiques
Sa bibliothèque contient les ouvrages canoniques (Kangyur et Katen bönpos complets) ainsi que d’autres collections importantes de textes spirituels ainsi que la transcription d’enseignements et de conférences ainsi que des traductions de textes tibétains en français et en anglais. Pour que ces précieuses instructions soient accessibles aujourd’hui à des étudiants occidentaux sincères, l’association Shenten Dargye Ling organise chaque année des séminaires sous la direction de Yongdzin Tenzin Namdak et Khenpo Tenpa Yungdrung et s’emploie à éditer des textes de pratiques et d’étude. English :

With the inspiration of furthering the critically-needed preservation of Yungdrung Bon, the indigenous religious culture of Tibet and one of the most ancient religions still alive in the world today, H.E. Yongdzin Lopon Tenzin Namdak Rinpoche founded a new Bon monastery, Shenten Dargye Ling, in France. Receiving the status of a religious congregation recognized by the French government on 30th June 2006, Shenten Dargye Ling marks a new and historical development for the Yungdrung Bon tradition. Congregation Shenten Dargye Ling expects to develop as a hub which will be a vital presence in preserving Bon religion and culture, a centre for education but also a home where practitioners can enrich their spiritual knowledge and a place where practical aspects of this ancient tradition – medicine, art, language and so on – can be studied alongside major academic and religious activities. The following are outlines of some projects and programs initiated by the Congregation:
- A library consisting of a full set of the Bonpo Kanjur and Katen together with some other collected works; there is an ongoing program for the extension of the library.
- To create and maintain a digital and book archive of the teachings given by H.E. Yongdzin Rinpoche in Europe and U.S. over the last 17 years as well as of important teachings by other Bonpo Lamas.
- Transcription of teachings/lectures and translations of Tibetan texts into English and/or French.
- Spring, summer, autumn and winter teaching and practice programs along with additional weekend programs.
- Programs on Tibetan Bonpo arts, medicine and healing.
- To convene academic conferences on the Bon tradition.
- To conduct scientific, experimental research on specific fields related to this tradition.

The stupa of Yongdzin Tenzin Namdak Rinpoche has been completed and is now on its way to France. 🪷
It carries the heart essence and blessings of Rinpoche – his knowledge, instructions, and compassionate intention are all included within it; and it stands as a sacred support for the devotion and practice of the Sangha.

With heartfelt thanks to all the Sangha who practised, contributed, and supported this beautiful offering. Through your devotion and generosity, the stupa has come into being.

It will arrive in time for the first anniversary of Rinpoche’s parinirvana on 12 June:

The Himalayan Bön Foundation is organizing a fundraising event with Khenchen Tenpa Yungdrung Rinpoche, who will offer teachings and guided practices on the Dru Gyalwai Chaktri.

Shenten Dargye Ling has been invited to support this event by serving as the Zoom host.

These texts, composed by Dru Gyalwa Yungdrung, a great 13th-century master, form a complete guide to practice. They allow us to directly apply the teachings of the Zhangzhung Nyen Gyu, the most important Dzogchen cycle of Yungdrung Bön. Receiving these instructions is a precious opportunity to support and deepen the meditative practices of this tradition.

During the Karma Yoga Retreat at Shenten Dargye Ling, participants gathered in a spirit of community, devotion, and shared practice. Alongside prayers and meditation, they offered their time and energy in work throughout the monastery, in the buildings, and in the garden, according to their abilities. A beautiful new spring tradition that we started last year!
The retreat was marked by simplicity, warmth, and the joy of supporting one another in practice and service. Each task became part of the path: a way to cultivate generosity, inner balance, and connection with Shenten.
