Dear Friends in Dharma,


Few days ago we finished first winter retreat in Dankow.

Some of our guests like winter here so, they decided to stay longer, then they planned before.

Weather hopefully was nice (and still it is) very gentle for us. We have minus 10 degrees at night (inside gompa is warm and cozy, hot water) but at day we have sun from time to time. There is not so much snow (cars could reach gompa) but everywhere is white and trees, bushes are covered with thin frost. On sunny day everything looks really beautifully!

10 persons came for all retreat, on New Year Eve we had over 30 guests.

The retreat program was: pujas - Small Rigdzin, Big Rigdzin, Chod, walks, cooking of meals together. We had really nice and family like atmosphere.

On New Year Eve we did Big Rigdzin before noon and around 8 PM Small Rigdzin with huge tsog. Then at hall on the 2nd floor we had a nice, calm party with toast and fireworks in front of gompa. Part of guest did Chod and Kuntuzangpo Monlam at 11 PM.

All people I talked to were very satisfied from their arrival. Few of them who did not come to Darnkow for many years were very surprised with the gompa and how our center changed.

Almost everybody declared that it would be nice to have such short, free retreats during holiday time and days off.

That is why we decided to use two nearest occasions - Losar and Easter to meet in Darnkow:
