After this very eventful year with wonderful courses, excellent teachers and the highlight of the consecration of Shamar Rinpoche’s relic stupa, we are now looking forward to having a winter break from December 19 to January 5.

Right afterwards, January 6-8, Lama Yeshe Drölma will be giving a meditation course – all are welcome!

For your calendar, you should also look at the following courses, of which we already know the dates. There will be more courses listed later.
And there is some hope that Jigme Rinpoche will be able to give his course, which was planned for February 17 – 19. We will know more about this in the beginning of January and will then communicate it to you right away. In any case, we are kindly asking everybody for further wishes for Rinpoche’s health and his long life.

Those of you who have already eaten here, certainly enjoyed the delicious vegetarian food, fondly prepared by our different cooks/chefs. A very important tool while cooking for many persons is the electric steamer – the heart of our kitchen so to speak. It is always working and takes care of cooking vegetable in big amounts and many more delicacies. After more than 20 years of intense use it’s job is done and the many repairing attempts couldn’t change anything. Our dear electric steamer ‘died’ and doesn’t steam any longer.

For being able to still preparing healthy and delicous food in our kitchen and for preventing our chefs who are often doing this voluntarily from being too desperate but still cook with joy and enthusiasm, we are kindly asking you for a donation. A new machine costs between six and seven thousand Euro! It would be great to installing such a tool soon again, because it is such a big help for the cooking team. We would be very grateful for your support!

Last but not least we would like to thank all those of you deeply who supported us this year – by your active help, by your financial support and most of all by your willingness to be inspired by the Dharma, to attend the courses and to open yourself and your life to a positive influence! Thank you so much for your support on the path an in the center! This is great.

It is with great anticipation that we would like to remind you of the exceptional visit of the highly qualified teacher Lama Jampa Thaye. He is one of the main teachers in KIBI (Karmapa International Buddhist Institute) in New Delhi and a famous scholar. At the same time, he is British, which means that he knows the Western mentality very well… 😉
The subject Lama Jampa Thaye will be teaching about: The Zhentong Madhamaka view, is one of the subjects he was asked to teach in Bodhi Path by Shamar Rinpoche. We will certainly receive first-class teachings and we really wish that many of you will be able to use this wonderful opportunity.
