Consecration of Gompa in Wilga, Poland


Four Days of Special Teachings and Ceremonies

PolandGompa1

Ligmincha Poland was very happy to welcome H.E. Yongdzin Tenzin Namdak Rinpoche, Khenpo Tenpa Yungdrung Rinpoche, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche and several other lamas in Chamma Ling Center in Wilga, Poland, from Oct. 24–27, 2013, to perform rituals for the consecration of the newly built Gompa. It was very special to see all these lamas together, performing the rituals, giving teachings and having a good time together.

In 2006 after the visit of His Holiness Lungtok Tenpai Nyima Rinpoche to Chamma Ling Center in Wilga, construction of a gompa was initiated in the place indicated by His Holiness, who is the abbot of Menri Monastery in Dolajni, India. They have been working for seven years on this project and received great support from our teachers, like Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, Khenpo Tempa Yungdrung Rinpoche, Menri Lopon Trinley Nyima Rinpoche and many other Bonpo geshes.

More than 400 people from 24 countries were present during these days. A Bonpo kalachakra ritual was performed to purify the gompa and the site. H.E. Yongdzin Tenzin Namdak Rinpoche and Khenpo Tenpa Yungdrung Rinpoche taught from the text The Seven Mirrors of Dzogchen. And Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche also gave some teachings.
