Dear Friends of the Tibetan Buddhism, especially the Khordong Tradition of H.H. Chhimed Rigdzin Rinpoche

Because of actual reasons there is this email newsletter already again. Maybe You do know people who do not get this letter or even do not have an internet connection but maybe like to be in touch with the association around Rinpoche, so you might please print this letter and give it away.

If you do not want this letter any more or just got it accidentally, please send me a mail.

1. NEWS FROM SILIGURI

Rinpoche feels generally good. 12 Lamas from Tashiding had just been at the house and were reciting the Sampa Lhundrupma. They will come again on 24th or 25th of November with even more people and will contribute in this way on the Gompa building and stay till the butterlamp retreat starts. Today or tomorrow will be the ceiling concrete work finished and needs to stay alone for a while till it gets stable.

2. SPONSORS FOR RETREAT HUTS WANTED

Urgyen plans to build permanent hut made of stone and is looking urgently for sponsors of that. There will be some with one big room and some with two smaller rooms. All will not be with toilet facilities as there are no toilets wanted near the Gompa. There are planed some small stone houses for toilet, one line for men and one for women.

The exact price for such a hut is not fixed yet. Sponsors names could be written on the huts. More later.

3. TEACHINGS ON VAJRAKILA BY MARTIN BOORD ON CD

The teachings of Martin Boord were recorded during the retreat in Vienna. This recording can be ordered now on CD's. The four CD's contain the systematic teachings by Martin Boord in English with a German translation. Additional there are two CD's with questions and answers. The CD's are carefully edited. This teachings were given in different variations also at Pfauenhof 1998 and Berlin 1999. This teachings are merely oral instructions for practitioners instead of academic discussions (as in the book by Martin Boord: "The Cult of the Deity Vajrakila", out of print).
