Ngaktrin Rinpoche (whose name is also Tsewang Dechen) has three seperate three-year retreat centers, but the one at Fortress peak is the most austere. Water needs to be carried up from a distance of two hours when the rain/snow collection-hole dries up. Ngaktrin Tulku has a bank account in Zining/Xiling I will try to find it and postErik Pema Kunsanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15065281671070441076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12855129.post-1132026877346943362005-11-14T19:54:00.000-08:002005-11-14T19:54:00.000-08:00i had saw the collection of Nangchen photo told by...i had saw the collection of Nangchen photo told by Erik, it was so nice...wish had a opportunity to visit there at least once in my life time...btw, anyone have any idea for sponsorship of the monastery at there? as i know there are more harder to get sponsorship there...sherabrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17831259840996049087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12855129.post-1131733640426643612005-11-11T10:27:00.000-08:002005-11-11T10:27:00.000-08:00Really wondeful picture!

Then to see people practicing there enjoying /using the snow! Really nice.

It is a treasure teaching from Padmasambhava and concealed by his chief disciple Yeshe Tsogyal, later to be rediscovered by Chokgyur Lingpa, about 140 years ago.Erik Pema Kunsanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15065281671070441076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12855129.post-1131608603595565212005-11-09T23:43:00.000-08:002005-11-09T23:43:00.000-08:00Can you recall the names of those in the pic?What ...Can you recall the names of those in the pic?What particular type on Dzogchen practise are you refering to please?How long ago was this pic taken?Thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
