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.
