Vision

At the end of 2006 Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche pointed out His vision for the future headquarters of the Ripa lineage outside of Asia:
«My vision is a place where a living community will settle… A community where people are ready to help each other, to share, learn, practice and thus be able to offer spiritual orientation and guidance to our children and the whole world, and so enable people to live a life full of meaning and compassion. During this era when hate and conflict are overwhelming, it becomes more and more urgent to develop and protect wisdom and compassion. The proposed «Ripa International Center» will bear witness to the unbroken succession of the great Ripa masters, a lineage which goes back to the 16th century. The blessings of the precious masters of this lineage have been profoundly imprinted in us, bringing great benefits to our lives.»
