Dearest friends,
Great news! Today the city of Immenstadt won the court case against the zoning for the master plan of our new building project. From now on there should be no more hindrances in completing the EC, and we will start building in the spring of 2013. The necessary permissions will be handed to us within the next few days.
We were convinced that the outcome would be positive based on the professional work of all the planners involved, and we are very happy that everything went so smoothly. We are fully immersed in the detailed ...

Caty Hartung and Tomek Lehnert will come together at the Europe Center to tell us about their experiences from their many years on the road with Lama Ole. They have both worked closely with Lama Ole for more than 20 years, and the chance to hear stories and insights from the two of them together will be unforgettable.
The Europe Center certainly fits the occasion, as a central purpose of the EC is to let us all share in this precious experience of working for the dharma across many cultures. In this sense, we cross national borders every day by simply coming ...

Lama Ole is coming relatively often to the Europe Center for book retreats and project days. We have thought hard how to make the most out of them for everybody - giving Lama Ole enough space for focused and undisturbed work and our friends a possibility to meditate in his power field.

End of the year is a good time to make traveling plans for the next one coming. When a friend comes from a tour with the Lama and starts to recount all the stories and experiences, it's easy to get excited and inspired to hit the road ourselves.
This is exactly what the last transmission weekend of 2011 is about. But don't expect last year's bus tour stories - our guests will be people who were on the road already when Lama Ole and Hannah first brought Diamond Way Buddhism to the West- some traveled even with the 16th Karmapa.

We recently got to know that in early August 2011, 10 citizens of Immenstadt—members of the local Bund Naturschutz (nature protection)—filed a “Popular Action” against the City of Immenstadt and the District Administration of Oberallgäu. This court proceeding might have an impact on us and our construction process. We were warmly welcomed by the community members of Immenstadt, and since 2007 we have experienced a lot of openness and support, especially during the Summer Courses, therefore, we are surprised by this action.
With this action, the plaintiffs go against the zoning plan for the construction and extension of the Europe Center, ...
