Dag Shang Kagyu Buddhist Centre

In Graus, Aragón, Dag Shang Kagyu Buddhist Centre is an important buddhist monastery associated with Buddhism and with the historical development of its region. A major Tibetan Buddhist practice, study and retreat centre in the Aragonese Pre-Pyrenees, founded under the guidance of Kalu Rinpoche. Dag Shang Kagyu was conceived in 1984 in the Aragonese pre-Pyrenees as a place for Tibetan Buddhist study, practice and retreat.

In December 1984 Kyabje Kalu Rinpoche visited the property and gave his blessing for its development as a Vajrayana retreat and study centre. The community follows a Rimé approach and is especially associated with the Shangpa Kagyu and Dagpo Kagyu lineages. Architecturally, the site is characterised by contemporary tibetan buddhist monastic and retreat complex.

One of Spain’s best-established Tibetan Buddhist retreat and practice centres. Its religious life centres on Vajrayana Buddhist meditation, teachings, initiations, ritual and retreat under recognised teachers. These practices are described as the centre’s own Buddhist tradition without making external claims for supernatural results.

Religious use and pilgrimage at the site include Meditation, Vajrayana teachings, retreats, and Buddhist ritual. Because worship, ceremonies and heritage visits can overlap, visitors should consult the official institution or the cited public authority for current access, service and visiting arrangements.
