Gesar Festival

This week the first particpants of the Gesar Festival Setup Programme have arrived and started working. The participants combine 6 hours of work setting up for the festival with daily meditation, Lujong excercises led by Acharya Pongracz and weekly Buddhist classes.
Even after a few days the presence of the setup people on the land is eminent. Tents are arising everywhere you look around the chateau, the grass is cut, new grass sowed on empty ground, plants pruned and piles of brocades are sewed.

See the pictures, taken today by Christoph Schönherr:

Are you undecided to come to the Festival, but thinking about it? There are still a few staff positions available during the individual segments of the festival. Programme staff will get a considerable discount on the programme price. If you are interested in staffing, please write to Christoph Schoenherr at gesarfestival@dechencholing.org .

Just confirmed: saturday May 17th, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche will give a public talk, open to all.

This is a wonderful opportunity to hear and see Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche teach.
