A group of Dharma students in Bologna perceived the need and usefulness of establishing a Dharma center dedicated to the Non-Sectarian Practice, Promotion and Dissemination of the Dharma, in order to contribute to the dissemination of the Buddha's Teachings, based on the Four Noble Truths, the Three Jewels and the practices of the Buddhist Doctrine in its various Schools, Traditions and Lineages.

The Non-Sectarian Movement "Jamtse Ling" has had a new natural development with the arrival of the Dharma in the West. Its spirit has developed more and more, thanks to frequent exchanges, both nationally and internationally, between Dharma teachers in the West. The non-sectarian Rimé attitude, which originally referred to the different Tibetan lineages and schools, continues to this day in all Dharma lineages and schools, from Bön to Nyingma, Kagyu, Sakya, Gelug, Theravada, Chan and Zen.

The Jamtse Ling Association for the Non-Sectarian Practice, Promotion and Dissemination of the Dharma is the only Italian Dharma center dedicated exclusively to the “Rimé” Non-Sectarian Movement and advocates the realization of the Fundamental Nature of the individual through the practice of the teachings of Buddha. This realization is Love and Wisdom, Great Compassion and Liberating Understanding; it transcends illusion and passions; it operates spontaneously and continuously for the benefit of all living things and works for the good of all sentient beings and for the birth of an awakened society. It is about respecting with devotion, promoting and studying all the Traditions and Dharma Schools that, by virtue of lineages of adamantine purity, eternal, and uninterrupted, lead to the true Realization of "Absolute Reality" or "Rigpa" or "Nature of the Mind”, beyond the concepts, names and forms, based on the understanding derived only from the concrete individual experience and spiritual evolution, beyond all intellectualism.

The Rimé Association is non-profit organization and pursues civic, cultural, solidarity and social promotion purposes, through the development of activities in the following areas: organization and management of cultural, artistic or recreational activities of social interest, including publishing activities of promotion, practice and dissemination of the Dharma of general interest, educational activities aimed at the integral formation of the person, as well as cultural activities of social interest for educational purposes, promotion of the culture of legality, peace among peoples, non-violence and defense without weapons. The association may also carry out activities of awareness, education, training and emancipation of the community based on the teachings of the Dharma and, consequently, carry out activities for the dissemination of information for the practice and dissemination of the Dharma.

Jamtse Ling Network

Together with the constitution of the Association, within it, the "Rimé Network" was established.
