The Denthog Chigma Chö Retreat is held annually in France, to accomplish enlightenment in a very short time for oneself and benefit of all sentient beings.

Denthog Chigma practice was composed by 8th Karmapa Mikyö Dorje and detail teachings has been written by 5th Shamarpa Konchog Yenlag. Denthog Chigma literally means “The method for accomplishment on one seating”.

Chöpa Lama has received the practice of Denthog Chigma Chod from Tenga Rinpoche, and Tenga Rinpoche has received it directly from Buddha Gyalwang Karmapa.

Chöpa Lama has been leading Denthog Chigma Retreat in France for the past 7 years. And this year 8th Annual Summer Retreat will take place in Perpignan in South of France. A little town surrounded by the peaks of the Pyrenees.
