About Lolland Retreat Center

We are very happy to invite you to the Lolland course with Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche. It's a special visit since the previous incarnation of Jamgon Kongtrul gave the Kagyu Ngagdzö here in 1989.
The Lolland Center has a special history as the longest-running diamond way retreat center. It was founded in the 70's after Lama Ole and Hannah returned to Denmark from the East.
The center's special connection to Milarepa dates back to the time when the 16th Karmapa visited the place in 1977. When the 16th Karmapa came to the place, he had a vision of meeting Milarepa in the garden, who told him that "A Thousand Buddhas will fly from here”. During his visit, Karmapa gave the Milarepa empowerment and Black Crown Ceremony. Once again we can celebrate this close connection to Milarepa and attend the Milarepa empowerment given by Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche. Since then, the place has been blessed by the presence of many great masters, and we are happy to continue the tradition of summer courses since 1979. Come and enjoy this historical place.
