The center

The Djampel Pawo Buddhist Center is located in São Paulo, Brazil. It was officially inaugurated in 2001 by His Eminence the Venerable Kalden Tulku Rinpoche, for the benefit of all sentient beings, for the perfect transmission of the Ganden lineage, and with the firm purpose of establishing the Dharma on this earth. The Djampel Pawo Center offers, amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life, a conducive space for the development of mental training and the practice of Dharma.

Upon attaining enlightenment, Buddha Shakyamuni taught the Dharma to liberate all beings from suffering, without exception. This is the reason why the Dharma exists: to benefit and liberate sentient beings in the Six Realms. Because the suffering of beings is so diverse, the Buddha taught numerous methods, in many forms, according to the different difficulties and contexts of each being – for each context, the Supreme Tathagata taught a solution. Similarly, this is how Venerable Kalden Rinpoche guides us: faced with a spiritual or worldly problem, he prescribes a Buddhist solution for each challenge. Kalden Rinpoche makes the experience of the Dharma even more vivid with the courage to promote the teachings in a joyful, practical way, without ever losing the necessary depth to transform our lives.

The Djampel Pawo Buddhist Center exists to support and enable as many people and beings as possible on this earth to benefit from and hear the teachings of the Buddha, which bring joy, clarity, and courage to seek a meaningful life.
