Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche 2024 Summer Seminar and Retreat
Sun Jul 07, 2024 to Fri Jul 12, 2024
Timezone : Europe/Paris
Rangjung Yéshé Gomdé Pyrénées, La Bastide, France
Rangjung Yeshe Gomde Pyrénées joyfully invites you to the upcoming summer seminar and retreat of our beloved teacher, Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche.
SUMMER SEMINAR
The seminar will start on 7th July after dinner with welcome and conclude on 12th July after the morning practice. Rinpoche will teach from 8th to 11th July. Drubpon Lama Tenzin Sangpo and Khenpo Pema Namgyal will also offer instructions that we can immediately put into practice in the ideal setting of our mountain retreat center.
Rinpoche has kindly agreed to teach from the Sphere of Refined Gold, a terma revealed by Chokgyur Lingpa with commentary by Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche. He will offer practical instructions for those who engage in the annual three month retreats at Gomde Pyrenees
The official arrival day is 7th of July and the program will begin in the evening after dinner. If you intend to arrive earlier than 7th July, please book additional days below and let us know your dates by writing us at retreatinpyrenees@gomde.fr
Prerequisites: The most important prerequisite for attendance is genuine trust and faith in the Dharma and the wish to practice the teachings. It is best if one has taken refuge, previously practiced meditation in the Buddhist tradition for an extended time, and received mind nature teachings previously from Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche or another teacher in the tradition.
PRACTICE RETREAT
From the 12th of July until the 19th of July we have the opportunity to deepen our practice and internalize the teachings received from Rinpoche with a structured retreat led by Drubpon Lama Tenzin Sangpo.
Please also register for the post-seminar retreat below. Participants for the retreat should be prepared to stay on-site in order to maximize the practice opportunity.
ACCOMMODATION
Due to our limited space, beds in the house in shared rooms are only available for those who are attending the full seminar from July 7-12. All our rooms will be converted into triple rooms and all bathroom facilities are shared.
You are very welcome to camp on our land either in one of our tents or in your own tent, but we will need you to register for that here as well. Our tent camping also has dry toilets and shower facilities.
