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

from 14. 07. 2012 - 16th Butterlamp Offering Ceremony conducted by Tulku Migme
(The Offering will be continued during the retreat with H.H. Taklung Tsetrul Rinpoche, till we complete
100.000 lamps)

the fee for the Butterlamp Offering Ceremony is 20 PLN / per day + meals
children under the age of 15 - 7 PLN/ per day.

GREAT APPEAL TO EVERYBODY!!!

For 15 years we have been able to offer butterlamps according to the wish of our teacher Chhimed Rigdzin Rinpoche, to whom the Butterlamp Offering Ceremony was especially important. During this years' course we will offer butterlamps for the world peace as we do every year.

To make the retreat possible we will need oil (3.400 l is needed to fill 111.111 butterlamps), wicks, clothes and airline ticket for Tulku Migme Lama. The fee for the retreat covers only the costs of accommodation in our centre during the retreat.

Last year we managed to offer 111.111 lamps once again, thanks to the sponsors and people who cleaned and lit the lamps.

So, we kindly ask everybody to sponsor butterlamps!

Please send the money to Polish or German association bank account with information “DONATION FOR BUTTERLAMPS”.
