Creating the right conditions for a Buddhist initiation requires many helping hands. Through effective teamwork and organization, the Dhagpo Switzerland team in M\u00e4nnedorf successfully managed this task.<\/em> Book Reading with Lama Jigme Rinpoche: “A Path of Wisdom” September 14 in M\u00e4nnedorf.<\/em><\/p>\n A very harmonious evening with an interested audience launched the Dharma Week with Lama Jigme Rinpoche, following the two empowerments held over the weekend.<\/em> Following a book reading on Monday evening, Lama Jigme Rinpoche offered stimulating and profound teachings on how we can shape our daily lives using Buddhist meditation and related practices. In this way, one learns to gradually integrate these centuries-old methods into a Western lifestyle.<\/em><\/p>\n The program was complemented by sessions on Sheng Zhen, Chenrezig meditation, practical guidance, and general introductions provided by the study group from Dhagpo Kagyu Ling. <\/em><\/p>\n We extend our gratitude to everyone involved, as well as to those who provided diverse forms of support from Kundreul Ling and Dhagpo Kagyu Ling. Thanks to the excellent work from Astrid and the translation team, it was possible to follow these precious teachings from anywhere via Zoom.<\/em><\/p>\n Once again this year, the program featured presentations on various fundraising initiatives. At several information booths, attendees could learn about the ongoing temple construction in Sikkim, speak with Ani Ts\u00fcltrim\u2014who oversees the nunnery in Rumtek\u2014and acquire blessed \u00a8tsatsas\u00a8 to support the Sharminub monastery in Kathmandu. There was also a presentation by Dhagpo Kagyu Ling.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/em>We look back with deep gratitude on this inspiring time spent with Lama Jigme Rinpoche and are already looking forward to seeing him again in Switzerland next year.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”39559,39560,39561,39562,39563,39564,39565,39566,39567,39568,39569,39570,39571,39572″ posts_number=”16″ show_title_and_caption=”off” show_pagination=”off” _builder_version=”4.27.9″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dharma Week with Lama Jigme Rinpoche 12.
