Lama Tsultrim Gyamtso performed a ritual to place in the farm the vase consecrated in July by Lodreu Rabsel Rinpoche, in a place where no one can walk, in the foundation of the wall of the future kitchen, and therefore, under the future Temple, directly under the shrine, where a representation of the Buddha will be placed; this is to consecrate the place as a place of practice and to remove obstacles and hindrances.

Lodreu Rabsel Rinpoche came to teach and give empowerments, during 5 days, to more than thirty retreatants.

 

 

When he came, Lodreu Rabsel Rinpoche consecrated the Vase comprising sacred substances, mantras, mandalas, which was filled by Lama Sherab Gyaltsen Rinpoche. The Vase was sent to us just at the right time to consecrate our place of practice.

Lama Tsony Jungnay taught “The Poetry of Enlightenment : Freed Voice, Liberated Songs”, which are a treasure for advice and inspiration. He relied on the Songs of Milarepa, and he also read and explained Chants of women who attained Enlightenment at the time of the Buddha. Whatever their status, daughter of king or slave, secular or nun, their concerns, their suffering, their aspirations are close to us and the poems reflecting their inner realization are high in teachings easy to understand. More than 25 people attended these very motivating teachings.
