The Khordong Association in Estonia is honoured and delighted to announce the consecration of
Khordong Gompa in Estonia in Umbusi village in September 2009.
The consecration of the gompa and the following retreat will take place from 4th till 6th September 2009.
Tulku Ugen Chemchog will conduct the ceremony on the full moon day of the 4th September.
It has also been Tulku Ugen Chemchog Lama's wish that all the regents of Rinpoche could be present during the consecration of the gompa to fully establish the Estonian Gompa into Khordong Therchen Tulku Chimed Rigdzin Rinpoche's lineage.
About the gompa in Estonia. We bought the building with 49 ha of land in 2002 and the few Estonian disciples have been working on it ever since. It has been a long process and now we are happy to announce that it is in minimum condition for consecration. You can see the house and some of the renovation work from here: http://khordong.ee/?id=10443. Still a lot of work has to be done and completed before September 2009.
The attendance of the consecration and the following retreat will be free of charge, including vegetarian food three times a day.
As the gompa is still in the very early stage of development, we cannot provide you the accommodation in the gompa building itself. You should bring your own tent. There is also an accommodation possible in the nearby guesthouse but as there are only around 15 places available, you should book as early as possible.
It would be very helpful for us if you could announce your possible coming for the consecration beforehand to help us to make the necessary arrangements.
The preliminary schedule of the days will be as following:
4th September 5th – 6th September
10.00 Consecration of the gompa 07.30 Breakfast
12.30 Lunch 08.00 Small Rigdzin
14.30 Guru Rinpoche initiation 09.30 Big Rigdzin
18.30 Small Rigdzin 12.30 Lunch
19.30 Dinner 16.00 Butterlamp Prayer and some other small texts
19.30 Dinner
Tulku Ugen Chemchog will also give explanations about Big Rigdzin during the breaks and the afternoon after the Butterlamp Prayer ritual.
APPEAL FOR SUPPORT! As there is still a lot of work to be done, all the help in form of physical work or financial support would be greatly appreciated! If there is anybody who would like to contribute for the gompa building, please let us know. We would need support to build the altar of the gompa, the main floor, the renovation of the windows and for the decoration of the walls.
