Zangdok Palri Institute: his form

"The buildings will take the form of a mandala, symbolizing Zangdok Palri, the pure land of Guru Rinpoche"
Dzogchen Ranyak Patrul Rinpoche

The buildings will be constructed and decorated in the purest Tibetan buddhist tradition, contributing thus to maintain living the Tibetan culture and to render it accessible to the world. Interior space will be designed to welcome the installations and modern equipments and to create all the conditions in favor of the study and the practice.

The Zangdok Palri Institute is directly inspired from Zangdok Palri representations, the Glorious Copper Coloured Mountain, the pure land of Guru Rinpoche.

It will comprise a circular perimeter wall. This circular wall will support 108 stupas and will be surrounded by water. Four bridges will offer access to the inner complex. The central building will be a structure of 3 levels comprising a library, classrooms, assembly halls, staff and student accomodation and shrine rooms. All in a pleasant, harmoniously landscaped environment.
