Samten Ösel Chöling
Heidelberg, Germany
Samten Ösel Choling (SOC) was first established in 2009 by Marcus and Barbara Dannfeld who first requested Lama Rangbar to come to offer Buddhist teachings there to a group of his students and friends.
SOC operates under the direction of Marcus Dannfeld, a practitioner for over 30 years in both Theravada and Vajrayana traditions and a senior student of Lama Rangbar. Marcus also provides community members with offering ceremonies as well as astrological consultations upon request.
Lama Rangbar visits SOC regularly. He transmits various practices such as Vajrakilaya, Gesar of Ling, Green Tara of Dudjom Lingpa, and various lineage prayers. Lama Rangbar performs pujas, offers individual instructions, as well as life and practice consultations.
