Private audiences
Rinpoche has usually one hour daily for the audiences (maximum 10-15 minutes for each person). Those who are interested, are asked to write a short note in English and to pass it to the assistant of Rinpoche on the spot, after the arrival of Rinpoche. The note should contain: a forename, a surname and a short explanation of the reason of asking for a meeting. On the basis of these notes Rinpoche will accept your wishes. Afterwards the assistant will make a list of the names of those, who are admitted to a meeting with Rinpoche.

Only those who formally entered the Buddhist path by taking Refuge in the Three Jewels can participate in the empowerments.

Lectures: "Three Words of Garab Dorje"- introduction to the dzogchen teachings
The "Three words of Garab Dorje" is the essence of dzogchen teachings. During the lectures Rinpoche will introduce us to the main explanations of view, meditation and conduct in accordance to the tradition of the Great Perfection.

Minling Dorje Sempa Empowerment
The practice of the yidam Dorje Sempa in the tradition of Mindrolling, known also as Minling Dorsem, is frequently used both in the Nyingmapa and in the Kagyu school. This particular empowerment is one of the most extensive forms of many existing Dorje Sempa empowerment rituals. Receiving this empowerment brings a great blessing, creates strong bonds with Dorje Sempa, and in this way is also very helpful in performing the meditation of Dorje Sempa as a part of the preliminary practices (ngondro).

Please bring with you texts of Green Tara, Mahakala and Chenrezig pujas, as we will probably recite them every day!
