THE KHORDONG BUDDHIST ASSOCIATION IN POLAND
WOULD LIKE TO INVITE FOR RETREATS
AT “DROPHAN LING” CENTRE IN DARNKÓW
28. 06 - 10. 07. 2008 - XII Butterlamp Offering Ceremony conducted by Migme Lama.
We will continue one session of butterlamps offering every day (till we offer 111 111) during retreat with H.H. Taklung Tsetrul Rinpoche.
fee for the Butterlamp Offering Ceremony retreat (28.06 – 10.07) is 12 PLN / per day + 24 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 11 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 and especially for better situation in Tibet.
To make the retreat happen we need oil ( 3.400 l is needed to fill 111.111 butterlamps), wicks, clothes and airline ticket for Migme 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.
Therefore we kindly ask everybody to sponsor butterlamps!!!
Please send the money to Khordong Association Poland bank account with information “BUTTERLAMPS FOR TIBET”
