 
															International Buddhist Center for Meditation and Studies
In the natural and scenic setting away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, Gomde offers the perfect environment to learn and practice authentic Tibetan Buddhism and meditation. Our program offers many possibilities for both experienced, practicing Buddhists, as well as beginners and interested people.
In the daily meditation sessions, seminars and in everyday life we try to develop and fully embody unbiased loving-kindness, compassion and wisdom through training of our own minds. This is based on the insight that the primordial awareness (rangjung yeshe), which possesses these very qualities, is inherent in every living being.
The center has been acquired, inspired and guided by the loving vision of our abbot Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche

Rinchen Shop
‘Rinchen’ – which in Tibetan means ‘jewel’ or ‘precious treasure’, is just what we wish to offer you. Carrying a wide range of authentic meditation supplies, traditional Tibetan Buddhist ritual objects and the finest hand-crafts, an experience in Rinchen Shop is akin to exploring the markets tucked away in the high Himalayas. Our wide array of gifts will ensure there is something special for you to take home and share your experience of Gomde with loved ones.





“It is about an open heart and a clear mind. 
An open heart is full of compassion for all beings. 
A clear mind understands the emptiness of all phenomena.
Developing this unconditional compassion and wisdom is the goal of our practice.”
– Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche
