Kadam Dharma in Switzerland and Austria

Dharma began in 1992 in Zurich, Switzerland, with a series of General Program classes held in the city.

In the spring of 1993, Highest Yoga Tantra empowerments were granted by a visiting teacher. Following this visit, Dharma rapidly gained momentum. Teachers went to establish branches that swiftly evolved into centres in Basel, Bern, and Lucerne. A few years later, new centers emerged in the French and Italian-speaking regions: Geneva and Ticino, and also in the eastern part of Switzerland, in a village named Sitterdorf. In 1995, Venerable Geshe-la visited Switzerland and granted a Green Tara Empowerment at Kunsthaus Zürich, the city's art gallery, to an audience of almost 300 people.

Since then, numerous individuals have benefited from participating in classes, courses, and retreats across this region.
