Why does Lama Pema Wangyal not teach at Lhagsam Tibetan Buddhist Meditation in Zurich?

Last Updated on July 14, 2024 by pg@petergamma.org

What is wrong with Tibetan Buddhist teachers in Switzerland? Ven. Robina Courtin flights 13 times for U.K. to Zurich and back to teach:

«The Gradual and Complete Path to Enlightenment 1/13 at Laghsam Tibetan Mediation in Zurich»:

On the other hand, we have the highly qualified Teacher for Tibetan Buddhism Lama Pema Wangyal at the Drugpa Zentrum Kollbrunn near Wintertur. This is one hour by train from Zurich.

Here we can see Lama Pema Wangyals curricum vitae:

Lama Pama Wangyal taught for 17 years Tibetan Buddhist meditation in the Rikon Tibet Institute Monastery.

And now Lama Pema Wangyal presents the Bahnhof Wallisellen in Zurich with Arabic subtitles on his YouTube channel Yogtrack:

And the Shopping Center Glatt in Zurich with sub-titles in Hindi on his YouTube channel Yogtrak:

On his YouTube channel Yogtrack, we can see the many other activities of Pema Wangyal:

His second most popular YouTube video is “How to make Tibetan butter lamp!”

Pema Wangyal is not a teacher of Mahayana Buddhism. But could he not easily teach at Lhagsam in Zurich to save flight costs? Also Dilgo Kihenze Rhinpoche taught all four major school of Tibetan Buddhism:

If Pema Wangyal would teach at Lhagsam Tibetan Mediation in Zurich, would this not save a lot of money for flights? Tibetan Buddhist teachers in Switzerland are criticized by Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org to waist money for flights. And if Lama Pema Wangyal would teach as much as possible at Lhagsam in Zurich, would he not have many students there, soon? The Trugpa Zentrum Kollbrunn is about one hour by Train from Zurich. Kollbrunn is a place in the landscape where only view people live, but Zurich is a a city with currently 402’762 inhabitants.
