Transmission - Palyul Meditation Brussels

Our Palyul Lineage Masters

We are grateful for the guidance of our lineage lamas in an unbroken transmission since the time of the Buddha. Here we present the lineage masters from the 20th and 21th century. Palyul Chadongri Gon, in Amdo Golok (chin. Qinghai) is a branch monastery of Palyul Tarthang Monastery. We are grateful to be under the protection of H.H. Garwang Nyima Rinpoche, as Tibetan Buddhism places great importance on lineage transmission. This means that teachings and practices are passed down from experienced teachers to their disciples. Our Palyul lineage ensures the preservation of the teachings and maintains their authenticity.
