Our Dharma Course Program 2027
After the winter break, Bordo will open its doors again mid March 2027 to Karma Dechen Yangtse members. You can become a member, or renew your membership, when you arrive. Our daily multilingual meditations are open to all: they start at 7:30, 18:00 and 20:00.
Early registration for both courses and retreats is necessary to secure a place. We appreciate an offering for food and lodging which will enable us to cover the costs and maintain the village. Availability of single rooms is limited. If you have any questions or would like to register for a course, the best way to contact us is by e-mail: bodhipath@bordo.org. Attention! Please note that e-mails are not processed daily!
We offer a Dharma programme with teachers in four languages. Translation is provided for some courses; this is indicated under ‘Course language’. Additional translation is possible in certain cases if several people book their places early, and can guarantee their attendance. Courses in which teachers have personal exchanges with attendees will not have translation.
Courses usually consist of two sessions of approximately 2.5 hours each, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Exceptions are noted in the programme. We would be delighted if you would join us for the daily group meditations as well.
Please visit our homepage to plan your arrival and stay.
The Dharma courses are open to all, unless otherwise stated. In certain cases, participation is only possible for people who have formally taken refuge in the 3 Jewels. In the case of individual Buddhist retreats, it is necessary to be very familiar with Buddhism and to have a practice that you wish to deepen. Please consult our homepage if you are interested. For silent retreats we recommend you to contact institutions and teachers who support this form of retreat. Exceptions are sometimes possible for group retreats led by qualified Buddhist teachers.
If you have health issues, please remember that your health insurance must include helicopter transfer, as Bordo is a car-free mountain village, only accessible on foot. There is no medical assistance onsite.
Bordo Leavelet 2027
If you would like to print out the annual Dharma program with the dates and a brief description of the events, you can find the PDF here. You are also welcome to distribute the flyers to interested persons or place them in your centre.
Unless otherwise stated, all events are suitable for beginners and advanced practitioners.
Participation fee: a share of the organisation costs and a donation for the teachers. Your generosity will enable them to pass on the Dharma in the future. The donations for accommodation and food should be sufficient to cover the expenses as well as the maintenance and operation of Bordo. We will be happy to provide you with further information.
