Nytårsønsker fra Steen

godt nytår
vil bare lige sende en hilsen her på den første dag!
ville sende i aftes men har lidt af en forkølelse der kom op sidst på
dagen igår så jeg gik bare i seng.

tak for 2009
tak for at I redede Gomde!
tak for at I har holdt alt brokket ud.
jeg er sikker på at alle vi brokkehoveder er taknemmelige
men har begrænset kapasitet på formidlings området,
så det kommer ud som alt muligt andet.
jeg håber I holder ud og at der vil komme flere og flere og hjælpe.

glæder mig til et fantastisk 2010 sammen med jer!

mange hilsner
steen

Happy new year from Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche

Dear Sangha of Gomde Denmark.

I hope you were able to see my online New Year’s greeting we sent out through Dharma Sun, but I also wanted to make sure to specifically extend those prayers to you.

I wish you all a healthy and happy long life, with great success in your practice. As mentioned in my video, I feel it is very important that we combine listening, reflecting, and meditating, all of which should be motivated with the vast wish to lead all beings to enlightenment.

Harmony and compassion are extremely powerful. This is our fuel from which the impossible becomes possible. Please never underestimate them. Through strong compassion automatically our obscurations will be purified. What does that mean? It means our negative emotions will become less and less, and this is what Dharma practice is about. When our negative emotions are less, we become more calm, and, as it is said, through calmness, the intrinsic wisdom will be able to shine forth.

Therefore please continue to give your uttermost to improve your kindness, your calmness, and your wisdom.

With love and blessings,

Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche

Happy Xmas to everyone from Gomde DK

All that may appear and all who may exist
samsara and nirvana, share a single ground

But there are two journeys and two destinations
this is the magic of knowing and unknowing

Now through my wish, the wish of Kuntu Zangpo
the Ever-Excellent Samantabhadra

May everyone awaken truly and completely
within the palace of my true dimension.

From the nineteenth chapter of Samantabhadra's primordial tantra that grants liberation through hearing.

We just received this picture of Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche at Gomde in 2003. If you were there please verify.

The first photo is from a couple of months ago, just after the lake got cleared out and landscaped. Today it's clear water is iced over on while the park is covered in pristine snow.

"Prins Siddharta - Historien om Buddha"

Forlaget Dharma Visdom hører under CVM. Formålet med forlaget er at gøre Buddhas lære tilgængelig på dansk ved at oversætte og udgive Dharma bøger og andre spirituelle bøger. Forlaget Dharma Visdom har blandt andet udgivet "Prins Siddharta - Historien om Buddha".

En lille klog bog om livets store spørgsmål.
"Prins Siddharta - Historien om Buddha" er en børnebog, der giver et positivt bud på hvordan, man skaber et bedre liv for sig selv og andre.

I et letlæseligt sprog og med flotte illustrationer fortælles historien om Buddhas liv - fra han blev født som kongesøn, til han som ung forlod sit beskyttede liv i paladset og opdagede, at livet for almindelige mennesker byder på problemer, sygdom og død. På baggrund af de oplevelser udvikler Buddha metoder til hvordan, man lever et harmonisk og godt liv uafhængigt af ydre omstændigheder. Gennem at følge Buddhas udvikling får læseren inspiration til, hvordan man kan handle på en måde, der skaber glæde for sig selv og andre.

"Prins Siddharta - Historien om Buddha" er et smukt eventyr, en god historie og dyb livsvisdom skrevet på dagligdags sprog. Den er en oplagt gave til børn i alle aldre. Bogen kan købes i centret. Du kan læse mere på centrets hjemmeside.

I året 2007 udgav forlaget en fantastisk dejlig bog, både for børn og voksne: "Prins Siddhartha" skrevet af Jonathan Landaw og tegnet af Janet Brooke.
Bogen er oversat til dansk af Rasmus Hougaard.
Pris: 125,- kr.

The Return of Tulku Urgyen Yangsi Rinpoche

We are delighted to report that at 3:45pm, Saturday, November 21, 2009, Tulku Urgyen Yangsi Rinpoche arrived at Kathmandu’s Tribuvan Airport aboard an Indian Airlines flight direct from Delhi. Accompanied by his parents, Neten Chokling Rinpoche and Khandro Tendzin Chöyang Gyari, Yangsi Rinpoche was escorted to Nepal by Tsoknyi Rinpoche, Namdol Gyatso Lama and two attendants. So much joy and excitement was in the air! The afternoon was very reminiscent of Yangsi Rinpoche’s arrival at Tribuvan Airport in November 2008 when he landed in Nepal for the first time for the special occasion of his formal enthronement at Ka-Nying Shedrub Ling Monastery.

At the airport, more than 30 lamas, nuns and laypeople made up the joyful welcoming party — including Tsikey Chokling Rinpoche and Phakchok Rinpoche, with their respective wives and families, as well as Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche. Tsoknyi Rinpoche’s wife and his mother were also present, as was Tenpa Yarphel and Tenpa’s son, Tashi. Ani Maya, head nun at Nagi Gompa and Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche’s close personal attendant for several decades, was also present to welcome Yangsi Rinpoche.

Just as he had done at the airport one year ago, Yangsi Rinpoche serenely and graciously accepted a kata (white scarf) from each person who had come to greet him. Smiling, he touched his forehead to theirs. Seeing this special child, a Nepali passerby in the crowd immediately stopped and bowed before him; Yangsi quickly responded by warmly touching his forehead to this fellow’s forehead, too.

Rejoice!

Remarks from Phakchok Rinpoche's visit

Dear Erik and Tara,

would like to thank you for hosting me at Gomde and providing an opportunity to listen to PR's teachings.
I enjoyed very much both teaching and the atmosphere of the seminar. I wish all of upcoming seminars and retreats at Gomde will be fruitful and successful for everybody.

Phakchok Rinpoche told me that you plan to record a CD with audio of the seminar. I'd appreciate if you can share it, since Rinpoche advised that his students in Israel may listen to it.
If this will not be financial issue, please publish it on Web.


stay in touch,
Ilya
