Dhagpo Kagyu Ling is a Kagyu Buddhist center in Dordogne, France that was founded in 1975 under the direction of Lamas Gendun and Jigme Tsewang on the orders of the Sixteenth Karmapa. It is considered the European seat of the Karma Kagyu tradition under Trinley Thaye Dorje, one of two claimants to the title of Seventeenth Karmapa.
