C. R. Lama's anniversary in France August 15th to 18th

Dear Sangha Members
You will find below an excerpt of a talk of Tulku Chimed Gyaltsen, the main Lama of Khordong Gompa in Kham nowadays, talking about the importance of anniversary practices for the teacher. The polish gompa in darnkow decided to celebrate the anniversary of our beloved teacher C. R. Lama from 10th to 16th of august 2019. 
I must say that after CR Lama's parinirvana, the french and swiss sangha gatherered every year in Belmont d'Azergues and during a week, we made practices as Small and big Rigdzin with tsog, butterlamp offering and Long Dorje Drollo. This tradition ended after a few years, as less and less people attended. The last year, we were just Nathalie, Mireille and I , so we stopped.

But this year, according to the wish of Tulku Chimed Gyaltsen, and for those who can't go to Poland at that time, we'll try to revive this tradition and we'll be happy to welcome you in Belmont d'azergues from the 15th to the 18th of august in order to practice the main sadhanas C. R. Lama transmitted us in his memory (especially Big Ringdzin with tsog). Everybody is welcome and we'lll manage to arrange eveything so you can have a pleasant time without accomodation charges.

Generally speaking, there is a system or custom of commemorating of the anniversary of passing away one's own teacher in our tradition. I came here 2 or 3 times and did not see that you are not doing such a thing. So I decided from next year onwards we should try to organize the anniversary of our teacher, who has been passed away a long time ago. We can do the commemoration for one week or 8 days depending on whey you have available time. According to this, we can set time and will be at least one week. During this one week, we are going to do tsok offering as well as recite „The Noble Khing of Aspiration Prayer”. So once the date and everything will be confirmed, make sure that everyone will be available here and once the organizer organizes it everyone should try to participate in that anniversary. There are many reasons why we should commemorate the anniversary of our own master. By doing such activity like commemorating our teacher, we are actually repaying the kindness of our guru and it will help us to accumulate the merits and purify the negative dids as well. So, therefore, this kind of anniversary is very very important...

Tulku Chimed Gyaltsen
