Gomde Denmark Newsletter 2016

Dear Sangha and friends of Gomde,
Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche |
News from Gomde |
It is a great gift to have Lama Tendar staying at Gomde. His teachings are deep, gentle and comprehensive, and we warmly recommend to everyone to come by and meet him. You can see the programme for his upcoming teachings here.
During the week, everyone meets for daily meditations morning and afternoon. Lama Tendar participates in all of them, and he is very willing to answer questions and give teachings by request. On Thursday evenings from 7.30 to 9.00 pm he gives basic meditation teachings at the weekly meditation evening, which also is free and open to everyone.
Consultations on the master plan for the development of Gomde Denmark
We have received 21 responses from the Sangha, with comments and suggestions regarding the master plan which was sent for consultation in January. We would like to thank everyone for the many good ideas and inputs, which the construction committee will consider in their further work. We will be sending out more information on the building project this spring.

If you have not yet made your membership contribution for the year 2016, please remember that from this year onwards members are kindly requested to pay their contribution before the end of January for each new year. If you have already set up a yearly transfer on PayPal you might therefore need to change the date of the transfer. Once we have received your contribution you will receive a membership card, which is valid for the rest of the year. Please also remember to change your yearly contribution to 100 DKK, as was agreed in the General Assembly last summer.
