Lama Ole, big Summer course meeting, trees and architects

April 16th, 2010 In: About the EC, EC family LIVE, Lamas at the EC

As you can see from the headline – we had quite a packed and intensive time during the last weeks…

Lama Ole spent some days here on a book retreat, which was very successful and the book is almost finished. Just a few more proof readings and we can all look forward to a new book, which will guide us through the process of dying, the bardo state and being reborn again. Lama Ole had also few free minutes to come outside and cut the trees which are blocking some of the windows from sun and light.

On Friday the organizers of the next International Summer course came together like every year. The new program for the summer was announced: It will start with a Phowa course and then 4 transmission days both given by Lama Ole with a lot of interesting topics. Whole course will be rounded off with a Mahamudra & Dzogchen three day course and initiation given by Shamar Rinpoche. The main topic of this preparatory weekend was to make the upcoming course more simple and at the same time keep the quality of the previous years.

Last but not least was a meeting with our architecture office, who are preparing the plans for the new gompa and building. Lama Ole liked the proposal, but as everything is still in process, the final solution was not reached, just lots of new ideas and new inputs. So we have really something to look forward to!
