H.E. der 11. Lelung Rinpoche

DEPENDENT ARISING – EMPTINESS with explanation, reflection and meditation

Wednesday 1. May 2019, 6 pm – Sunday 5. May 2019, 2 pm; 4 days
Course language: English , Translation to: Deutsch

It is an extraordinary honour and joy for us to welcome the 11th Lelung Rinpoche to Ganden Chökhor. The long line goes back 690 years.

The earlier incarnations of Lelung Rinpoche, also known as Jedrung Tulkus, played an important role in the history of Tibet and especially in the development of Buddhism. The Jedrung Tulkus lineage began with the great Master-Adept Lhodrag Namkha Gyaltsen, whose direct disciples included Master Je Tsongkhapa, founder of the Gelungpa School of Tibetan Buddhism.

One of Tsongkhapa’s greatest insights was his understanding that emptiness means dependent emergence and dependent emergence means emptiness.

H.E. Lelung Rinpoche will use explanations, reflection and meditation to show us this golden key to liberation.

TSULTRIM ALLIONE – Wisdom Rising: Journey into the Mandala of the Empowered Feminine 15.11. – 18.11.2018

TSULTRIM ALLIONE

Wisdom Rising: Journey into the Mandala of the Empowered Feminine

Thursday, November 15, 2018, 6:00 pm – Sunday, November 18, 2018, 2:00 pm; 3 days
Course language: English, Translation: German

 

In this retreat we delve into the five Dakini families and the transformation of the five emotions into the five wisdoms. This unique retreat was designed with the goal of reconciling emotional work with spiritual transformation. We explore the emotions through various methods, such as Time travel, partner work, creative design, sounds and movement. We experience the potential of these energies to transform into embodied wisdom.

You receive the transmission for practice with the Mandala of the Five Dakinis, and this profound practice forms the framework for each day within the mandala, a model for the sacred reality at every level. Ritual, aesthetics and symbols of the mandala are expressions of the five energies: through the directions, colors, seed syllables, emotions, psychological types and above all through the five wisdoms.

This year, the new book by Lama Tsültim Allione appears:

The five Dakinis – the heavenly powers of Buddhism

After a week of intensive practice, Rinpoche gives the retreat group the initiation of the Tröma Nagmo – the wrathful black Dakini, according to Schiwa Lamsab tradition.

INITIATION INTO THE GREAT PRAJNAPARAMITA MANDALA WITH 59 DEITIES – Ven. Lodrö Tulku Rinpoche  26.10. – 28.10.2018

INITIATION INTO THE GREAT PRAJNAPARAMITA MANDALA WITH 59 DEITIES

AND WE WILL CELEBRATE RINPOCHE´S BIRTHDAY

VEN. LODRÖ TULKU RINPOCHE

Friday 26. October – Sunday 28. October 2018; 2 days
Rinpoche will teach in german, with english translation

The golden mother Prajanaparamita embodies the entire teaching and wisdom of Buddha. The essence of the perfection of wisdom is an understanding that has directly realized emptiness and connected it with the kind and compassionate bodhicitta. In the second rotation of the wheel, Buddha Shakyamuni taught the teachings of Prajnaparamita and explained the highest Middle Way, the path of profound wisdom.

Entering this great mandala with 59 deities can be taken as a blessing to get a unique connection with this practice. For Chöd practitioners, it is a mass-experience that brings a lot of support in practice – Rinpoche advises us to include the mantra of Prajnaparamita in daily practice.

We hope to be able to offer a visualization and mantra retreat for those interested in the future.
