13th Butterlamp Offering Ceremony conducted by Tulku Ugen Lama.

 

The fee for the Butterlamp Offering Ceremony retreat (13.07.2009 – 04.08.2009) is 12 PLN / per day + 25 PLN  meals.

Children under the age of 10 - 5 PLN/ per day.

Accompanying persons (persons who stay in the Center without participation in teachings - 15 PLN / per day + meals.

 

GREAT APPEAL TO EVERYBODY!!!

From 12 years we are able to offer butterlamps according to wish of our teacher Chimed Rigdzin Rinpoche. For Rinpoche the Butterlamp Offering Ceremony was especially important and he deeply cared to have it in Darnków every year.

During this retreat we will offer butterlamps as we do every year for world peace.

For the swift rebirth of HH Chimed Rigdzin Rinpoche we also decided to recite additionally Sampa Lhundup prayer at the end of each session.

To make the retreat happen we need oil (3.400 l is needed to fill 111.111 butterlamps), wicks, clothes and airline ticket for Tulku Ugen Lama.

The payment for the retreat covers only the costs of staying in our center during the retreat

Last year 111.111 lamps were offered thanks to sponsors who paid for oil.

Last year we were able not only to offer traditional 111.111 butterlamps again but thanks to sponsors (many butterlamps were sponsored by HH Taklung Tsetrul Rinpoche)  and people, who cleaned butterlamps during retreat with Rinpoche, the number of offered butterlamps reached around 140 000.

So we kindly ask everybody to sponsor butterlamps!

Please send the money to Khordong Association Poland bank account with information “DONATION FOR BUTTERLAMPS”.
