Ligmincha International

ANCIENT TEACHINGS FOR MODERN TIMES Ligmincha was founded in 1992 in order to preserve the ancient teachings, transmissions and practices of the Tibetan Bön Buddhist tradition. As the indigenous religion of Tibet and one of the world's most ancient unbroken spiritual traditions, the Bön tradition has a rich and unique heritage. Toward achieving this goal, Ligmincha aims to introduce these traditions in an authentic manner to the Western world, in such a way that they remain beneficial when integrated into modern Western culture. A 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, Ligmincha International is headquartered at the Serenity Ridge Retreat Center in Nelson County, Virginia, USA. Other Ligmincha retreat centers include: • Chamma Ling Colorado, a remote mountain setting for retreat in Crestone, Colorado, USA • Chamma Ling Valle de Bravo, site of the Great Stupa for World Peace, in Valle de Bravo, Mexico • Chamma Ling Torreon, a retreat and meditation center in Torreon, Mexico • Chamma Ling Poland, a retreat and meditation center in Wilga, Poland. • Lishu Institute, a center for the preservation and short- and long-term study of Bön, near Dehradun, India.
