Albagnono Meditation Healing Center

A temple for study and practice

Italy paid

A public Temple of Heaven on Earth gives Albagnano its distinctive focus: this is a place for worship as well as study and meditation. The center is home to the Kunpen Lama Gangchen Association and was founded in 1999 by Tibetan lama and healer T.Y.S. Lama Gangchen Rinpoche. Tibetan Buddhist teachings shape its identity, while visiting lamas and other teachers have shared teachings with the community. The emphasis here is less on a conventional holiday retreat than on entering a living setting for spiritual practice, learning and connection. Visitors can explore Himalayan art and culture alongside the center’s contemplative life. The temple is open to the public, though specific activities, retreat dates and arrangements can vary. Ask the center directly about current events and how to take part, especially if you are planning a visit around a particular teaching or practice.
