SUMMARY:Nyung Ne Retreat – Two Cycles
DESCRIPTION:With Dungsey Lhuntrul Dechen Gyurmey Rinpoche \nPurifying fasting ritual at Ripa International Center from 22nd to 25th of May 2015 or from 22nd to 27th of May 2015 \nWe are pleased to announce that Dungsey Lhuntrul Dechen Gyumrey Rinpoche will lead our next annual purifying fasting ritual of Nyung Ne practice. Rinpoche is ordained by Kyabje Drupwang Penor Rinpoche and revealed as the reincarnation of the 3rdTamdrin Lhunpo Chogtrul Rinpoche. This practice of Chenrezig (Avalokiteshvara) that can be followed by beginners and more advanced students is made out of a one day and an half fasting period complete with instructions\, prayer and moment of silence. It will also be possible to take part to the second cycle of the fasting lasting for another one and and half day. \nThe spiritual leader of our center\, Dungsey Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche\, is recommending this practice to us\, which will take place during the month of Saga Dawa\, as an annual ritual of purification. The Nyung Ne is a traditional Tibetan practice of purifying fasting based on the prayers of Avalokiteshvara\, the Buddha of compassion. Every year at this time\, it is practiced by communities of monasteries in India and Nepal that are under the guidance of Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche and of Lhuntrul Dechen Gyurmey Rinpoche. \nWe kindly ask you to register as soon as possible\, in order to have the best organization possible\, and no later than the 8th of May 2015. We thank you in advance for your understanding and your help.

SUMMARY:YOGOM: weekend course with François Bertolero
DESCRIPTION:YOGOM without intermediaries connects the body and mind. In this yoga practice the body postures are both the source and the basis of meditation. Physical exercises are gradually adapted to each individual’s abilities. The postures enable one to find a stable and comfortable seat. Rhythmic breathing exercises enhance base line lung capacity without dispersion and also provide energy. Through this continuity of breath and posture the body and mind arise and create the space for calm and clear presence. \nLet YOGOM practice flourish within\, so that one can find the time to know and release negative tendencies\, to meet one’s nature\, to enhance the positive aspects that enable us to act in a better way\, and thus contribute to our well being\, our health. A practice that is open to everyone. \nFrançois Bertolero is student of Dungsey Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche and Yoga teacher graduate FFYYOG_FB_web \nFor a description of YOGOM\, please click here . \nPractical information: info@ripa-international.com \nFor meals and lodging on site\, contact the Landguet Ried: office@landguet.ch\nwww.landguet.ch

SUMMARY:Ripa International Winter Retreat 2014-2015
DESCRIPTION:The Ngöndro Practice\, or Preliminary Practice\, combines the essence of the Three Vehicles – Theravada\, Mahayana and Vajrayana. As it is called a “preliminary” practice we might have the wrong impression that it is only an introductory practice\, a necessary stage to reach a higher level of practice which will be subsequent to this first preliminary step. However\, according to the teachings of Patrul Rinpoche in “The Words of my Perfect Teacher\,” it is perfectly possible to achieve enlightenment by practicing only the Ngöndro. This method of practice comprises the common and uncommon preliminaries\, which cover completely the full length of the Dharma path from the initial intent to leave the suffering of cyclic existence\, or “samsara\,” to the final goal of the actual achievement of recognition of the true nature of mind and phenomena. The first common preliminary practice is also called “the four thoughts which turn the mind towards Dharma\,” making us reflect upon the nature of cyclic existence\, and in so doing\, to thereby become disillusioned with it. The second preliminary consists of Refuge – which is entrance to the Buddhist path\, and Bodhichitta – the mind of enlightened intent for the benefit of self and others\, which is the root of Mahayana practice\, followed by the practice of Dorje Sempa or Vajrasattva – which purifies negative thoughts and actions or karmas\, as well as obstructions\, primarily ignorance\, and following that\, in order to clear adverse conditions\, comes the Mandala Offering\, which gathers the accumulation of merit  in order to create favourable conditions for practice\, and then finally the practice of Guru Yoga – which enables one to receive the blessings of the teacher\, thus helping us to swiftly recognize Buddha nature. \nDuring this Winter Retreat we will have the good fortune to receive from Dungsey Lhuntrul Dechen Gyurmey Rinpoche these wonderful teachings on this precious Dharma practice\, in accordance with the profound instructions of His Eminence the Terchen Namkha Drime Rabjam Rinpoche\, holder of the Ripa lineage. \nThe Ripa international winter retreat will be held form 27.12.2014 – 03.01.2015. As usual\, it will be a combination of teachings and practice. The teachings will be given to all participants. The practice portion will take place with two groups. The main group will focus on Ngöndro accumulation. Those students who have finished their Ngöndro will focus on Tsa Lung practice. Please read the exact conditions below. \nConditions of participation \nThe retreat is open to all students who have taken refuge with the Ripa teachers and lineage. Should you not have yet formally taken refuge but would like to do so\, in order to be able to legitimately enter the Ripa Ngöndro practice\, and to participate in the retreat\, please send a request to info@ripa-international.com up until the 7th of December. \nParticipation in the practice of Tsa Lung is limited to those students who have completed the full Ngöndro (all four sections of accumulations of 111\,111 each of: prostrations\, Vajrasattva\, Mandala Offering and Guru Yoga)\, and who have also already received the Tsa Lung instructions directly from H.E. Namkha Drimed Rabjam Rinpoche. (Please confirm this on the registration form ). \nAbout the Teacher\n \nDungsey Lhuntrul Dechen Gyurmey Rinpoche \nLhuntrul Dechen Gyurmey Rinpoche was born\, in keeping with Guru Rinpoche’s prophecy\, in 1976 as the son of His Eminence Namkha Drimed Rabjam Rinpoche and Khandro Chime Drolkar. He was recognized as the reincarnation of Jigme Tempay Gyeltsen\, the 3rd… Learn More \nNo checks are accepted.
