Institut Vajra Yogini, Tibetan Buddhist temple in Marzens, France
The Institut Vajra Yogini occupies a castle in the Tarn region, featuring meditation halls and teaching spaces for Buddhist practices.
Lama Thubten Yeshe established the institute in 1979, which later received visits from the 14th Dalai Lama in 1982 and 1993.
The institute follows the Gelugpa tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, offering educational programs and meditation retreats throughout the year.
Students can participate in a two-year foundational course on Mahayana Buddhism or join intensive retreat programs at the center.
The institute houses the largest Kadampa-style stupa in France, constructed in stone during the early 1990s.
