From 17th to 28 November 2009 H.H. The 102nd Ganden Tripa Kyabje Rizong Rinpoche gave oral transmission on Ngulchu Yangchen Drubpai Dorjes' precious three Volumes.

Teachings took place at Tashi Lhunpo Monastery in Southern India. 

His Holiness Tri Rinpoche arrived at Bylakuppe with a welcoming by the Tibetan settlement and had held a brief ceremony. All the guests offered Khatak and Tri Rinpoche gave blessings to all. Morover, on that day also in the sky appeared very positive signs like clear rainbows.  

As Geden Phacho Bhucho Preservation Centre organized these teachings Tashi Lhunpo Monastery have kindly supported them in all ways necessary. Therefore we would like to thank you the monastery and all official staff.

Due to H.H. Tri Ripoches' enthronement ceremony at Gaden Monastery we had to shorten the teaching days, therefore, Ngulchu Ngagwang Dorjees' Teaching will be given next year with teachings of dben sa pa Lo-sang-dön-drup (blo bzang don grub). 

Hope to see you at the teaching.

The Geden Phacho Bhucho Preservation Centre would like to announce that the August teaching from the 7th of August till the of 9th September 2009 went well.

The 102nd Ganden Tripa Kyabje Rizong Rinpoche Holder of one of the  three highest spiritual positions  in the Gelug Tradition of  Tibetan Buddhism  A Rare Opportunity to Learn Directly  from an Extraordinary Master

Born in Ladakh in the early 1930s, Kyabje Rizong Rinpoche was recognized and enthroned as a child as the reincarnation of the founder of the illustrious Rizong Hermitage. 

In the mid-1940s Rinpoche joined Drepung Loseling Monastery in Lhasa for his higher training, remaining until the Chinese takeover of Tibet in 1959. He then joined His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan exile community in India. He was appointed by His Holiness as Abbot both of Gyumed Tantric Monastery and of Drepung Loseling, two of the greatest seats of Tibetan spiritual knowledge. At present Rinpoche carries the title Jangtse Choje, or “Dharma Master of the Northern Peak,” one of the three highest spiritual positions in the Gelug Tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.

Rinpoche has made the practice of meditation his principal focus in life, and has conducted numerous extensive retreats, including a three-year tantric retreat on the Yamantaka mandala in a remote hermitage in Ladakh. Through his achievements in practice and scholarship, he represents the pinnacle of the Sutra and Tantra traditions.

Rinpoche is renowned for his Tantric powers, and is frequently called upon by H.H. the Dalai Lama to lead ceremonies for healing and other similar purposes.

These were the remainder of the teachings which were started in March 2008 and were left incomplete, due to events at that time.
 
Over five hundred monks attended the teachings, including Sharpa Choeje Rinpoche, several other abbots and former abbots, and Lama Zopa Rinpoche.  Some young tulkus also attended.
 
Furthermore, Sharpa Choeje Rinpoche, gave oral transmission of Little pithy volume of many oral instructions on the king of mountain deities who guards the northern quarters or the god of wealth, rnam sras be'u bum.(two volumes) and Great abbot Tenpa Chophels' collected work- mkhan chen bstan pa chos 'phel 1840-1907.(two volumes)

which lasted two weeks. After each of these teachings the ceremony for longevity was performed for each lama individually. Officials and members of many monasteries in Dharamsala were present.
 
Gyuto Tantric Monastic University generously looked after the lamas and monks who had come from other areas, providing their accommodation, meals and the transport for the two Lamas. I am very grateful for their support.
 
Unfortunately I was unable to attend personally, due to the restrictions of my visa at this time, however I was able to organize matters via telephone, fax and email, and the office staff in Dharamsala coped very well in my absence.
 
I was very relieved that the Camellia Foundation offered their financial support, £6,400, for these teachings and I thank the Camellia Foundation and Mr. Gordon Fox, Mr Peter Leggatt, M.B.E. very much for their generosity, I also like to thanks Geshi Thupten Jinpa la for his great help.
 
Although I am happy with the progress of the project so far, time is so important, as the lamas are aging all the time, and I know that with more financial help we could proceed so much more quickly and widely to secure these precious teachings.

Early last year Venerable Lama Zopa Rinpoche said he would help out with the Geden Phacho Bhucho Preservation Centres' loan which we had from the Conference in Dharamsala in Jun 2006. Rinpoche promised to donated US$ 5000 at the time and later last year gave US$ 5000 toward to the loan. So now the loan is paid off which is a great relief.

Ven. Tashi Lhunpo Kenrinpoch donated US$ 1000 in 2008.

In December 2008 Tolotsang Dolma and family Donated Rs.100,000 toward Teachings at Tashi Lhunpo Monastery.

In January 2009 Gajang Serkong Gazi Rinpoche donated Rs.100,000 in general.

In February 2009 Camellia Foundation donated £6400 towards the March teachings.

Therefore I would like to say thank you very much to Ven. Rinpoche and FPMT.

Also Ven. Tashi Lhunpo Kenrinpoch,Ven.Gajang Serkong Gazi Rinpoche, Tolotsang Dolma and family and also the Camellia Foundation, Mr. Gordon Fox, Mr Peter Leggatt, M.B.E. and many thanks to Geshi Thupten Jinpa la.
