Bodhi Path Belgrade

is part of a network of Bodhi Path Centers and Groups, founded and managed by XIV Shamar Rinpoche (1952-2014), one of the holders of the Karma Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. The Bodhi Path was founded with a non-sectarian approach, which means that it is open to anyone interested in Buddhism and Buddhist meditation, regardless of religious affiliation and spiritual orientation. The basic Buddhist practice practiced in the Bodhi Path is Lojong – Mind Training.

Lodjong is a method recognized by Shamar Rinpoche as most appropriate for modern people, as it provides the opportunity for comprehensive work with the Mind in the conditions of hectic everyday life. At the Bodhi Path Belgrade, everyone interested, whether Buddhist or not, can receive quality instruction in Buddhist meditation called “Shine” (Calm Abiding Meditation) and other Buddhist practices and teachings.
On average, three times a year we are visited by Bodhi Path Lamas and Dharma Teachers who hold Courses on specific topics in accordance with the Bodhi Path Curriculum. More information at www.bodhipath.eu and www.bodhipath.org

“Primary Cause – Buddha Nature” Khenpo Gyalcen Zangpo, October,17-23. (completed)


Buddha nature is the primary cause or”seed” for one to attain Buddhahood. Without that cause, no matter how much effhort one made, there would not be any progress. For example, on a farm, if there is no seed, no matter how much one cultivates and fertilizes, nothing will grow. But if there is a seed, the primary cause, then the seed will sprout when it meets the right contributory causes and eventually it will bear fruit. Similarly, even though all sentient beings are completely permeated with Buddha-nature, the seed of enlightenment, success depends on the individual. More >>
