After completing a four-year solitary retreat in the mountains of India under the Drikung Kagyu lineage, Drupon Lama Dorje emerged with a simple aspiration: to create a silent retreat sanctuary where anyone could reconnect with their innate goodness.
After 14 years of teaching in Chile, Lama visited Costa Rica in 2021 and immediately felt aligned with the country’s commitment to peace and ecological regeneration. He found the perfect home for Dewachen Sanctuary. The landowner offered extraordinary support, and two devoted sangha members matched each other to make the purchase possible.
