Welcome to Rangjung Yeshe Gomde UK Registered Charity 1132050 Gomde, Lindholme Hall News Seminar with H.H. Phakchok Rinpoche.
The first full seminar at Gomde, Lindholme Hall, given by Phakchok Rinpoche in June 2010, was a magical delight. The teachings were personal and insightful and Rinpoche spent much time with various small groups getting to know people. Rinpoche fostered an especially personal connection with Gomde, by volunteering to chop down several, badly placed trees in the grounds. The wood will be used in the future to help build a more elaborate shrine and we hope that Rinpoche will visit Gomde many times to use it Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche visit to Gomde, Lindholme Hall
Rinpoche’s schedule will include: 14th September: Arrival 15th -18th September: The 5 Powers; How to Use Them in this Life and at the Time of Death The 5 Powers are: The Power of Resolve Rinpoche will give a detailed commentary on the 5 Powers and give practical advice as to how to use the teachings in this life and at the time of death. 19th September: Ngak-so Puja This is a day long Vajrayana Tantric practice for mending and purification. The practice, also known as the “Ocean of Amrita”, includes visualisation, a profound confessional and a feast offering. Through the practice each participant acknowledges their own perfect inner nature. This is a central practice of the Chokling Tersar lineage and is celebrated in an elaborate way over nine days at both Ka-Nying Shedrup Ling monastery and the Nagi Gompa nunnery in Nepal. Rinpoche particularly requested that the Ngak-so puja be celebrated on the Sunday of his visit to Gomde, Lindholme Hall, so as many people can attend as possible. Texts will be available and those wishing to simply observe the practice are welcome. Registration and costs can be found on the events page. Lama Tenzin Visits Lama Tenzin (the current resident teacher at Gomde Germany/Austria and Umze- chant master- at Ka Nying Shedrup Ling monastery) will visit Gomde, Lindholme Hall to give weekend teachings on 25th and 26th September. We hope this will help consolidate the teachings given earlier in the month by Chökyi Nyima. Lama Tenzin will also come for the week commencing 23rd October. We anticipate he will give meditation and practice instruction as well as lessons in playing traditional instruments - we have a drum, two conch shells and two sets of cymbals.

Rinpoche will be blessing the land and giving teachings during his visit, with plenty of time, also, to enjoy the beauty of the local beaches, castles and moors. For further information on the programme please click here for Gomde Hermitage, Scotland events page Rinpoche's programme in Scotland will include: Monday 20th September, 7.30pm Healthcare & Compassion “The point of this talk is not merely to stress the importance of compassion. I think you sense this already or else you wouldn’t be interested. What we need to find out is how to actually become more compassionate. We know that compassion is important, but how do we actually make it more readily available?” Tuesday 21st - Wednesday 22nd September The Five Powers Thursday 23rd September Blessing the Retreat Land Friday 24th September The programme in Scotland is quite likely to be small and informal. Please contact the organizing team at hermitage@gomde.org.uk if you wish to join in and we will send you further details as we know them. Finally, we are pleased to advise that Phakchok Rinpoche will be retuning to the UK from 8th to 11th November 2010 to visit Gomde Hermitage. Rinpoche will be giving teachings and delivering a public talk.
