Dear Sangha,

Today I would like to present Benchen Phuntsok Ling's retreat plan for the coming year.
 
mila2In the very beginning, on November 8, 1998, when Tenga Rinpoche decided to establish Benchen Phuntsok Ling, he wrote to his students:  The intention or goal of buying a center is that everyone who has time can do retreat there for a few weeks or months, and that it will be a permanent place for summer courses in the summer. In the further future, courses on general Buddhist teachings and personal practice are planned, which will include the gradual path of the four preliminary practices, the practice of the creation and completion stages of the yidam (Kyerim/Dzogrim), the six yogas of Naropa, and the path of Mahamudra.
By practicing Dharma there, it will be a place of extraordinary benefit to oneself and others.

These were his words, which he shared with all his students in a letter before he left for Nepal.
And at the beginning of the 2020 Summer Course, in the advice that H.E. Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche gave us via WhatsApp, he said very clearly that we were very fortunate to have been in the Dharma for many years and to have received many precious teachings and initiations from high teachers. We had read so many Dharma books - but without practice we cannot attain liberation and so now was really the time to practice, do retreat and gain experience as much as possible.

Thus, both of our Rinpoches have given the advice and instruction that we should do retreat as much as possible.

sc2014These are the dates for the Summer Seminar 2022 in Benchen Phuntsok Ling in Allmuthen, Belgium.

Like every year the week before the actual teaching period a three-days Drölkar (White Tara) retreat will happen and after the teaching period a three-days Gönkar (White Mahakala) retreat will take place.

White Tara Retreat   Wed. 20.07.    to    Fri. 22.07.2022
Teaching   Sat. 23.07.   to    Wed. 03.08.2022
White Mahakala Retreat   Thu. 04.08.   to    Sat. 06.08.2022

 

In case that due to SARS-CoV-2 (Corona-virus) it is not  possible to meet onsite in Allmuthen we will offer an online course instead. Then the dates will be as following.

White Tara Retreat   Fri. 22.07.   to    Sat. 23.07.2022 morning
Teaching   Sat. 23.07.   to    Sat. 30.07.2022
White Mahakala Retreat   Sun. 31.07.         

Benchen Monastery, May 3, 2021

Following the advice of HH Karmapa XVII Ogyen Trinley Dorje Chagdzö Tashi Öser, Khenpo Ösung, Sherap Wangchuk, Gyurme Phuntsok and myself went to Ge Nyima, who had been a teacher of His Holiness, at his retreat in Parphing on 29. March. We requested him to teach Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche Yangsi every winter for a few months as advised by His Holiness. Fortunately, Ge Nyima accepted our request.
Furthermore, His Holiness advised Tenga Rinpoche Yangsi to shorten his hair. Rinpoche accepted and now likes to wear short hair very much while it looks good too. Moreover, His Holiness advised that when Rinpoche first arrives in his village in the summer he shall have off without classes and enjoy his life playing with the other children. For further two months in the summer Khenpo Ösung shall be teaching Rinpoche. In the winter time Ge Nyima will teach Rinpoche at the monastery.
Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche's family is very fine and is staying in Rö these days.

Benchen Buddha Maitreya Project, March 31, 2019

We invite you to kindly support and make donation to “Benchen Buddha Maitreya Project”

By being a part of the “Benchen Buddha Maitreya Project” through funding or contributing to it, in cash or in kind, one continuously generates and accumulates good merits as long as the temple remains for the benefits of all.

The Buddha taught that one of the supreme means of accumulating merit and wisdom through the body, speech, and mind is by building monasteries and teaching centers.

A Monastery is not just
a place that shelters sacred statues, scriptures, and sangha, but also
a place where the sacred teachings of the Buddha are being taught to benefit so many.

A place where actual healing of the mind begins.
It is not a place where only one person comes but thousands will gather.
It is not where only one person teaches but many great teachers will teach.
