The Drukpa Paris Association is a Buddhist religious association (1905 Law) and is placed under the spiritual authority of His Holiness the Gyalwang Drukpa.
Its purpose is the public practice and development of Buddhism for the benefit of all beings, particularly according to the precepts of the Drukpa Kargyud lineage.
To achieve its purpose, the association organises various forms of Buddhist practices, such as periodic group teaching and practice sessions, meditations, and lectures and seminars led by visiting masters.
Drukpa Paris is closely connected with the Pel Drukpay Tcheutsok Congregation and its Drukpa Plouray centre, the European headquarters of the lineage and the residence of the Venerable Drubpön Rinpoche.
