TheKagyu-Dzong center is a Buddhist center in Paris, affiliated to theKarma Kagyu school ofTibetan Buddhism. This center is linked to the 17thKarmapa,Orgyen Trinley Dorje.
It is situated in a temple of Tibetan and Bhutanese style that was inaugurated January 27, 1985, constructed nearby the "Pagode dubois de Vincennes", site of the Institut international bouddhique founded byJean Sainteny.
In 1980,Kalu Rinpoche conferred in thePagode du bois de Vincennes the Initiation ofKalachakra. He then met withJean Ober, the general secretary of the Institut international bouddhique and together, they conceived a project to construct a Tibetan temple. The plans of the temple, established by the architect Jean-Luc Massot on the directives ofKalu Rinpoche, were approved by theParis city hall. The first stone was laid on March 20, 1983. The works realized on private founds and with the help of many volunteers took two years.
The Kagyu-Dzong center is linked to the centerVajradhara-Ling inAubry-le-Panthou,Normandy andKalu Rinpoche entrusted the responsibility of both centers to his disciple,Lama Gyurme.
Since 2006, each year, an artistic event takes place at Kagyu-Dzong on the theme of "Peace and Light" to support a project of construction of theTemple for Peace nearby theVajradhara-Ling center.
