Kunsang Gar Meditation Center

Kunsang Gar is a Tibetan Buddhist Meditation Group of the Yungdrung Bon lineage, with emphasis on Dzogchen practices. Anyone is welcome to attend.

Kunsang Gar means ever excellent, all-good, complete in all parts, perfect and always positive. Kunsang stands for goodness to all, everywhere, at all times and in all circumstances. Gar means camp or place.

What We Do

We practice Dzogchen meditation, Nine Round Breathing Practice, meditation on the Natural Mind and teachings on these subjects. We also practice Tibetan Tantric Yoga exercises as preliminaries to meditation. Our basic aim is to improve the mind. We practice to develop a positive, happy mind.

Our group’s main practice is Natural Mind meditation. We also practice Calm Abiding Meditation. With a calm mind, we can more easily meditate on the Natural Mind. Meditation on the Natural Mind leads to self liberation. It transforms ignorance and delusion on the quick path to Enlightenment.

Our Teacher

Our spiritual director and teacher is Geshe Dangsong Namgyal, a Yungdrung Bon Dzogchen lineage holder and Buddhist teacher, scholar, author and meditation master.

Geshe Namgyal is a Rimé teacher, which means all-embracing of the schools of Tibetan Buddhism and Bon. He was born in Tibet and entered the monastery there, beginning his study of Buddhism. After some time, he left Tibet in order to be able to receive the more in-depth teachings available in Nepal and India. After 25 years of study and meditation, he achieved his Geshe Degree, which is equivalent to a PhD in the West, “Geshe” being a title like Doctor. His spiritual journey has developed in him an extraordinary depth of knowledge through which he can clearly convey essential teachings and meaning. He is an author of works on Tibetan culture, history and religion and has presented at numerous conferences in Asia, Europe and the U.S. He is available for personal consultation.
