THE KHORDONG BUDDHIST ASSOCIATION IN POLAND
WOULD LIKE TO INVITE FOR
RETREATS AT DROPHAN LING CENTRE IN DARNKÓW

 

10 July - 19 July - 21st Butterlamp Offering Ceremony

(from 20.07 we will continue offering lamps - one session a day during the next courses until the offering of 111.111 lamps)

fee for the course - 30 PLN / per day + meals

 

The Butterlamps Offering practice is the term of Zilnon Lingpa's (Chimed Rigdzin Rinpoche) mind.
Its purpose is to purify the darkness of the minds of the sentient beings, and thereby to preserve peace in the world. This is especially important in the present times, full of conflicts and threats.

 

The fee for the retreat covers only the costs of participants' accommodation in our center during the retreat. It does not include the purchase of oil, wicks and cloths to clean the lamps. To make the retreat possible we will need 3400 oil. The success of this practice depends on the generosity of its sponsors and the involvement of the participants. The cost of one lamp is only 0.20 zł.
Last year we managed to offer 111,111 - traditional amount of lamps once again thanks to the donors and participants of the retreat who cleaned and lighted lamps.

 

We kindly request everybody to sponsor and participate in the butterlamps offering !!!

Khenpo Jamyang Nyima - the history of Buddhism and the Khordong lineage, teachings of renunciation

 

Due to problems with obtaining a new passport, Czime Gyaltsen Rinpoche unfortunately will not come to Darnkov this year. But Rinpoche send one khenpo from Khordong monastery to give us teachings. This year khenpo Jamyang Nyima will give the teachings of renunciation, based on the texts of the Zer Nga (Five nails) from Dziangter tradition and Kunzang Lamej Szelung (the words of Master Samantabhadra) of the Longchien Ningthik tradition.
