Phuntsok Chö Ling

Phuntsok Chö Ling Phuntsok Chö Ling is een open boeddhistisch centrum. Wij organiseren meditatie- en studieklassen. In de hoop dat je daardoor ook vrede schept voor je omgeving.

Bij Phuntsok Chö Ling krijg je les van de Tibetaanse leraar Lama Jigmé Namgyal die je op een laagdrempelige manier laat kennismaken met de boeddhistische kijk op het leven. Hij geeft uitleg over de werking van je geest en de methoden om hierin rust te brengen. Door dit onderricht krijgt je meditatie een diepere betekenis en meer effect in je dagelijkse praktijk. Onder leiding van Lama Jigmé willen wij een brug slaan tussen een eeuwenoude vredescultuur van wijsheid en mededogen en de westerse manier van leven. Het Tibetaans boeddhisme heeft een unieke visie op het welzijn en geluk van mensen. Vanuit die visie probeert Phuntsok Chö Ling een bijdrage te leveren aan een vreedzame samenleving. Dat begint bij de student zelf: door meditatie, studie en het volgen van onderricht kun je rust voor jezelf creëren. Phuntsok Chö Ling is opgericht door Lama Jigmé Namgyal. Al zijn activiteiten en verdiensten worden opgedragen aan de herinnering aan zijn leraar Khenpo Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche. Lama Jigmé Namgyal is in 1973 geboren, in een nomadenfamilie in Amdo, in het oosten van Tibet. Op 8-jarige leeftijd ging hij het klooster in en tien jaar later vertrok hij naar Sertar Larung Gar, de boeddhistische universiteit van Khenpo Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche. Hier heeft hij onder andere Tantra bestudeerd. Op zijn beurt heeft Lama Jigmé veel onderricht gegeven aan monniken en burgers in Tibet. Op verzoek van zijn leraren besloot Lama Jigmé Namgyal om naar Europa te gaan. Een enorme stap, want hij had geen idee van de Europese cultuur en sprak geen andere taal dan het Tibetaans. Door te gaan werken heeft Lama Jigmé in korte tijd veel inzicht gekregen in de westerse cultuur en Engels geleerd. In Europa heeft hij niet alleen een centrum in Luxemburg (Centre Culturel Tibétain) opgericht, maar ook in Rotterdam (Phuntsok Chö Ling). Who we are

Everyone is welcome
Phuntsok Chö Ling is an open Buddhist center: Everyone is welcome to come and learn about meditation and the Buddhist path. We organize meditation courses, readings, meditation weekends and retreats. After an initial introduction to meditation, you can continue your studies with us. On every evening of the week in our temple there's a class at a different level. Peace in your daily life. At Puntsok Chö Ling you receive lessons from the Tibetan teacher Lama Jigmé Namgyal who introduces you to the Buddhist view of life in a manner that's accessible to everyone. He gives instruction on the workings of your mind, and how you can bring peace to it. His teachings bring more depth to your meditation, which in turn has an effect on your everyday life. Our objective
With the guidance of Lama Jigmé our aim is to build a bridge between an ancient cultural tradition of peace, wisdom and compassion, and the contemporary Western manner of living. Tibetan Buddhism has a unique vision of the well-being and happiness of human beings. With this as our basis, Phuntsok Chö Ling hopes to contribute to making our society more peaceful by starting at the individual level with meditation, study and following the teachings as a means to this end. In doing so, we create peace from within ourselves, thereby providing a peaceful example wherever we go. Our teacher and name
Phuntsok Chö Ling was founded by Lama Jigmé Namgyal. All of his activities and merits are dedicated to the memory of his teacher Khenpo Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche. More about Lama Jigmé
The name Phuntsok Chö Ling was given to the center by Kyabjé Rinpoche, the former teacher of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

🌸 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗵𝗮 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝗮𝘆 – 𝟭𝟴 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 🌸

Tashi Delek, dear Sangha family 💛

A gentle light filled the temple as we gathered for Sangha Inspiration Day — a day of reflection, sharing, and renewed dedication to the path.

✨ With a warm heart, Michel opened the afternoon by inviting everyone to arrive fully — with openness and joy.

🪷 Lama Rinpoché then offered a luminous teaching on the heart of Sangha:

“𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘚𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘩𝘢 𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘷𝘪𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘦, 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘺, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.”

Every act of service — whether organizing, cleaning, or offering time — becomes an accumulation of merit. Though it appears to benefit others, it is we ourselves who receive the deepest blessing.

Rinpoché reminded us that even the simplest acts, when done with awareness, purify karma and ripen wisdom. Challenges, too, are opportunities to train the mind in patience, diligence, generosity, and love. 💫

He encouraged us to let go of judgment, open our hearts, and learn from one another — each culture and background adding its own beauty to the mandala of our Sangha. 🌍

💖 Khandrola spoke with heartfelt gratitude, recognizing the generosity already alive in each member. She encouraged us to welcome newcomers with gentleness and warmth — making the temple a home for all.

Looking ahead, Rinpoché shared beautiful inspirations for our future:
🌿 alternating Sunday teachings with sharing circles & workshops
🌿 trial lessons for newcomers
🌿 more opportunities for connection, care & outreach

Together, we wove a vision of a living, compassionate community — one that grows through listening, service, and joy.

As the day came to a close, hearts were light and spirits uplifted.
Gratitude flowed quietly through the room — for the Dharma, for our teachers, for one another. 🙏

🌸 May our Sangha continue to blossom in wisdom, harmony, and love.
🌸 May every offering, every word, and every breath serve the awakening of all beings.
