Dag Shang Kagyü, Buddhist monastery in Panillo, Spain
Dag Shang Kagyü is a Buddhist monastery near Panillo with traditional Bhutanese-style architecture housing meditation halls, classrooms, and living quarters. The complex spreads across a mountain slope with distinct areas arranged for different spiritual practices and daily activities.
A Tibetan Buddhist master purchased the land in 1984 and developed it within a few years into a center for Buddhist practice and study. These early foundations created an enduring site for teaching in the foothills near the Pyrenees.
The monastery bears a Tibetan Buddhist name and serves as a visible center where visitors can observe meditation practice and join teachings. The community expresses its beliefs through daily rituals and regular events that structure life at the site.
Visitors can join organized meditation courses and teaching events, with separate accommodation available for male and female guests. It is worth checking in advance about program schedules and specific conditions for your stay.
A white stone tower in the center of the complex follows Tibetan tradition and marks the entrance to deeper teachings. This structure is an unusual sight in the Spanish mountain landscape.
