Gavmildhed

Latest: Travel expenses for Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche's visit to Denmark 2009 are now 85% covered.
Remaining parts (as of April 7th): 1 large and 5 small left.



Kære venner,

Her til sommer har vi udsigt til at Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche igen kommer til Gomde på Helgenæs. Rinpoche har invilget i at give fire sæt Dharma undervisning samt en dag med Ocean of Amrita.

Forsøgsvis har vi lanceret en ny stil for betaling: i stedet for en samlet kursuspris betaler deltagere kun for kost og logi. Gaven for hans undervisning er på individuel donationsbasis, direkte til Rinpoches hånd. Har man mange penge kan man støtte hans klostre og mange velgørende projekter. Er man studerende, pensionist eller arbejdsløs, kan man give efter evne. (Denne model virkede med stor succes ved Phakchok Rinpoches besøg i september.)
Vores motivation er at gøre Rinpoches uvurderlige undervisning tilgængelig for så mange som muligt og til mange nye mennesker, især nu hvor Buddhas lære finder vej til Danmark.

Denne model gøres muligt ved at vi har kokke og koordinatorer som donerer deres tid og arbejde. Og at hans rejse sponsoreres. Kokkene og koordinatorne har allerede meldt sig.

Vi har delt den samlede rejseudgift for fly, visa, m.m. op i otte lodder på hver 500 euroer, og 20 på hver 50 euroer.

Vil du eller I være med til at have æren for at bringe Buddhas lære til Danmark og given endnu flere chancen til at modtage undervisning, så ring til os på 8635 6835 eller skriv til gomde@gomde.dk.

Dear friends,

This summer we have the prospect of Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche visiting Gomde on Helgenæs once again. Rinpoche has agreed to give four sets of Dharma teaching, and a day with Ocean of Amrita.

Tentatively, we launched a new style of payment: instead of a total course price participants pay only for room and board. The gift for his teaching is based on individual donations, given directly to the Rinpoche's hand. If you have good finances, you can support his monasteries and many charitable projects. If you are students, retired or unemployed, you can give as able. (This model worked very successfully by Phakchok Rinpoche's visit in September.)

Our motivation is to make Rinpoche invaluable education accessible to as many people as possible and to many new people, especially now that the Buddha's teachings find their way to Denmark.

This model made possible by our cooks and coordinators who donate their time and work. And because his trip is being sponsored. Chefs and coordinators have already signed up.

We have divided the total cost for air travel, visas, etc., up into eight parts of each 500 euros, and 20 of 50 euros each.

Would you have the honor of bringing the Buddha's teachings to Denmark and give even more chances to receive teachings, then call us on +45 8635 6835 or write to gomde@gomde.dk.

Looking forward to see you again at Cloudless SummerCamp in Denmark.
