Valle de Bravo
The great Stupa Bon for world peace is dedicated to the Venerable Lopon Senge Tenzin, master Dzogchen of the V. Yongdzin Tenzin Namdak Rinpoche, and Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche. It is the second Stupa Bön built in Mexico, and is the largest of this lineage in the West. It has a height of 34 m and a surface area of 400 m2.
On December 4, 2010, we had the honor of receiving Venerable Yongdzin Tenzin Namdak accompanied by Khenpo Tenpa Yungdrung Rinpoche, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche and other teachers and monks for the grand event of the consecration. We also have the presence of our dear Tulku Pondse Jigme Tenzin (Jorge Rene Valles) as well as several representatives of different Buddhist traditions present in Mexico.
Accompanied by our brothers of the national and international Sangha we celebrate with great joy the consecration of the Stupa.

Soul Retrieval Training Program Starts September 2025!
From September 2025 through April 2027, this is an opportunity not only to deeply commit to one’s personal healing and transformation, but an opportunity to benefit others. Students who successfully complete this two-year program will be able to do this ritual and practice for themselves. Those who pursue the certification track and pass the final examination will also receive authorization to perform the ritual and practice on behalf of others.
Soul retrieval is one of the most powerful methods for restoring vitality, joy, and spiritual harmony. When we experience trauma, shock, or prolonged emotional pain, parts of our la—the soul’s vital essence—can become lost, damaged or stolen. The practice of Soul Retrieval, La Lu, offers a way to compassionately call these aspects home and integrate them for healing at every level.
Drawing from the rich, ancient Yungdrung Bön tradition—the oldest spiritual tradition of Tibet—this two-year program offers a grounded, accessible path into the practice of Soul Retrieval. These teachings and practices offer powerful tools to those who feel called to help restore themselves and others to wholeness by working with the subtle energies of the soul. Join us for this special training program!
