Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche
Fall Seminar and Apple Harvest Celebration
October 1-4, 2010
The Seminar
During these four days, Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche will teach on our basic wisdom nature (the ground), the methods that unfold our true potential (the path) and the full experience of wisdom and compassion (the fruit). In this way Rinpoche uncovers one of the most central teachings of Buddhism and shows how to apply this teaching in our daily life. The teachings, which are open to everyone, will be translated into English and Danish.
We recommend that you stay for the whole seminar, but it is also possible to take part for a few days or even a single day.
To join the seminar, please register online at http://www.gomde.dk/ or here >>>.
Apple Harvest Celebration
Each day during the afternoon, Rinpoche and the participants will pick apples, make apple juice and enjoy other family activities. Your children and friends are welcome. If any of them just wants to take part in the apple harvest in the afternoon, they are very welcome as guests free of charge. They can also join for lunch and dinner (see prices below).
On Saturday, October 2, there will be a special celebration evening. Again, everyone is welcome, but please notify the kitchen in advance (email to: mettez.gomde@gmail.com).
On Sunday, October 3, at 16.00 Rinpoche will give a free public talk to everyone gathered for the harvest. A great time for your friends to meet Rinpoche in person.
Everyone in the apple team is welcome to bring 5 kilos of apples home, or turn them into fresh apple juice (please bring your own containers for the juice).
If you are unable to join Rinpoche and the harvest team in the orchards for physical or other reasons, but would still like to participate in the teachings, of course you are welcome. Just let us know when you arrive at Gomde on the day of the seminar.
