We are so so so happy that the three-month retreat is going on again. It is great that people come again and again to go deeper in the practice. To really develop boundless compassion and wisdom in their minds.

After the three-month retreat finishes in the end of May we will also have another amazing possibility to come and practice. From June to August, you can come and practice Vajrasattva accumulations with extensive purification practices. Doing it same time as the next three-year retreat group pre-retreat is going on.

See more details on our website.

There has been lots and lots of rain at Gomde in last weeks. And one of our volunteers has been doing great work with cleaning up a small riverbed, so we have a river now close to Gomde.

Greetings from Gomde!

We also need help for the next three-month retreat. Anyone would like to come?

Dear Sangha, Gomde is still looking for a second cook and two retreat helpers for the 3-month retreat (February 22nd - May 20th). Ideally helpers come for the entire period, or 1 month. We also welcome everyone to help preparing the retreat!

Very importantly, we are also calling upon Sangha members who wish to serve Rinpoche’s vast activities to come and live at Gomde on a longer term basis. Committed resident volunteers are indispensable in running the centre - we need you now!

Please write us at hello@gomde.fr if you or someone you know would like to serve during the retreat and/or as a longer term resident.
With love, the Gomde Pyrénées team

Sharing a few very photos of the beauty of Gomde by one of our volunteers.

She said:

"Thank you Gomde for the inspiration and beauty and sunrises! Have had such a lovely and interesting and heartmind-opening time, hopefully see you all again soon 💙💙💙"

We are really happy to have volunteers come and help the Gomde community be able to learn and practice Dharma. The community is ran by volunteers. Some staying longer, some contributing from afar for long, and some coming for shorter periods of weeks or months.

Often volunteers come because they are connected to Dharma already. But also there are many for whom volunteering at Gomde is first connection to Dharma.

Volunteers who wish to contribute with good effort and live together harmoniously are welcome to Gomde. It takes a lot of work from many people to have the community flourish.

The key is to wish to care for everyone around and wanting to work with ones own mind if something is not as pleasant as we would like to.

Thank you to everyone who contribute to Gomde in many different ways and make it a center of practicing Dharma.

Yesterday afternoon was the last session of the seminar with Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche here at Rangjung Yeshe Gomde Pyrénées. Rinpoche has given amazing and profound teachings on the nature of our minds. It had been a great seminar. Rinpoche taught more than he had promised.

And then just before people wanted to give their fareawell kathas to Rinpoche, he said - tomorrow morning at 9 we meet and chant the Narak Kongshak - one of the most powerful and important methods or practices of confession within the Nyingma tradition, and is also a particularly powerful prayer for those who have died or are ill.

And this is what we did. So amazing.

Narak Kongshak we will also be doing every day from June to August. When there will be pre-retreat for the new three-year retreat and at the same time a possibility to accumulate 100 000 of Vajrasattva mantra at Gomde for anyone who would like to join.
