Sangha Sharing
A Joyful Summer Retreat in Buchenau, Germany
For almost 30 years, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche has been teaching in Germany and Austria. E Ma Ho! Enjoy some pictures from the recent summer retreat held at Schloss Buchenau, a castle with a history dating back to the 16th century. It is a beautiful location, surrounded by gorgeous countryside, perfect for walks. All in all, over 300 people attended this retreat, with about 125 people attending in person. Rinpoche gave teachings on Discovering Your Inner Light, based on the Six Lamps and Six Lokas. In addition, Khandro Tsering Wangmo Khymsar shared with the sangha some traditional customs from her nephew's Tibetan-style wedding. An outdoor sangha celebration featured dinner and creative offerings, with many volunteers and dedicated students contributing to the event.
In the second to last picture, seated at the lama's table were: Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, Khandro Tsering Wangmo Khymsar, the German Board (Oliver Wirtz, Florian Bruckmann and Elke Rung), Presidents from Ligmincha Berlin (Maria Hatzmann) and Austria (Heide Mitsche) and all active practice leaders from the summer retreat (Wolfgang Krebs, Anja Benesch, Karolina Seltenheim).
