Funding of Lhagsam Tibetan Meditation in Zurich?

Last Updated on August 11, 2023 by pg@petergamma.org

Many years ago, we lived in the outskirts of Zurich, in a building which looked similar to the building of the Meditation Research Institute Switzerland (MRIS):

One day we met a friend who we did not see for many years. He asked us, where we live now. We answered «in Zurich». The friend who asked us this question answered: «If your budget allows». The friend with which we had this conversation lived in Winterthur which is about 30 min. from Zurich by train, where apartment rents are lower than in Zurich. Zurich is well-known for high apartment rents.

In Zurich we can find Lhagsam Tibetan Meditation

Laghsam Tibetan Meditation in Zurich is located 10 minutes by tram from the Paradeplatz in Zurich, where we find the beautiful buildings of the Swiss banks Credit Swisse & UBS Switzerland AG:

Paradeplatz is one of the most expensive places to rent an appartement in Zurich. Tibetan Buddhist meditation teachers are brought to Laghsam in Zurich from all around the world, sometimes on a weekly basis. Well, if the budget of Lagsham allows to pay for the flights and the location.

Here we can see the YouTube channel where you can see all the teachings:

Members of the Lhagsam Tibetan Meditation in Zurich have a connection to Roche Pharmaceuticals in Basel. So we are asking the question: is Roche in Basel one of the the main funders of Laghsam Tibetan Meditation in Zurich? And if so, what are the goals behind it?
