Just like every year, our Ora et labora summer retreat will take place July 11 – 19, 2020 in our currently under construction retreat institute on its premises, of course in accordance with Corona rules. Day of arrival is the afternoon of July 10. We will practice together mornings and evenings and work on several small projects in and around our house during the day. Accommodation on our premises is exclusively in your own tents to be brought along, on a therefore designated meadow. Should you not want to sleep in tents, you are free to organise lodging nearby – need help, contact us! Kindly register until June 15 at the latest, bindingly. As for contributions and other questions, please contact us. Kids and families, as usual, enjoy reductions.
Guru Vajradhara bestowed on us a blessing video on Covid-19 during this difficult time. We, too, following the order given by the Federal Chancellery of the Replublic of Austria for officially recognised religions, are not allowed to host any program in our temples.
Please stay at home and continue practicing for all sentient beings.
During these times, we are offering even more butterlamps than usual. You can become part of it by following the below link.
The construction of our retreat institute continues. The shell is up, now electricity, fittings and the dry walling is happening. Our new shrine room (see picture above) is slowly taking shape.
We kindly ask for your help to pay back the loan.
Our Guru Vajradhara will be 66 years old, 67 respectively in the Tibetan way of counting. We will be celebrating our Guru’s birthday in our City Institute Purkersdorf March 1, starting at 11:00 hrs and are looking forward to your coming!
A happy iron-rat year from Chöje Lama Palmo and Palpung Europe!
Discovering the Buddha Within is a new learning program of the Buddha Dharma created by His Holiness the 12th Chamgon Kenting Tai Situpa. Guru Vajradhara feels it’s time to install and transmit a well-designed curriculum with teachings and instructions step by step from the three Yanas to ensure a sound foundation of Buddha Dharma knowledge which can lead to a meaningful and fruitful study and practice according to the lineage which will be taught by our Palpung Tulkus, Khenpos and Lamas.
