Karma Berchen Ling

Dear Friends,
yesterday we finished the first phase of the stupa building. The concrete foundation is ready and has to dry now. We will continue in a few weeks…
Thank you all very much for your help!

At Sunday, May 23, we had a beautiful, sunny and clear day (since a long time)! At noon, Lama Choghdrub did a small puja to bless the new praying flags and people helped to tide them up. Now, one can see them from all over the mountains.
Simultaneous, the 72-hours prostration retreat continued with power [...]

Dear friends,
as you all know, we will have the huge Kalachakra Stupa Course including a Mahamudra (Great Seal) Course this summer. Therefor, all people, being responsible for one or more departments like kitchen, cleaning, registration and so on met on site, to draw the final solutions. It was a great and inspiring meeting. “Together [...]

After finishing the second foundation of the stupa, our great Polish team set the next layer on top, in the last two days. Then, we had to transport the prepared shuttering to the foundation. All people put together their strengh and: “Togehter we can make it happen!”
Step by step, the Kalachakra Stupa assumes a [...]

Today, Lama Chogdrub Dorje did a blessing ceremony at the finished Stupa foundation, which was filled with precious Buddha aspects (Tsatsas). Strong winds – as usual at KBL – were present at the ceremony.

Today, in a second step, we build a square shuttering with nine boxes. These little squares will be filledaccording to the traditional Buddhist texts with Tsatsas and so on.
At the same time, we already prepared a shuttering (on the first two pics) for the socket, which will be build later on.

On May 10, we managed to finish the hole for the lowest concrete foundation with an excavator. As you can see, a lot of complex shutterings are needed to build the special forms of the Kalachakra Stupa foundation. This preparation took us two more days and today we filled in the first concrete.
Today, we [...]

Lama Ole Nydahl talked to the DWBN-News about the Kalachakra Stupa in Karma Berchen Ling:
Kalachakra–stupas have been used for the last thousand years in Buddhist Asia to defend such timeless values against any retrograde forces of suppression which history may bring up and they work everywhere.

Our Bulgarian group came to Karma Berchen Ling in the first week of April (3rd-10th). With a joyful mind and Lama Ole in our hearts, we made A LOT of tsa tsas. Meanwhile few guys tiled the floor in the new building of the big gompa, while others made strategies how to catch the mouse [...]

“a 9 days week we never forget”
Our story started on Thursday at Bratislava centre during Piotr’s lecture about meaning of Kalachakra stupa. At that time none of our group knew he, or she, was going to buy tickets the very next day and depart to Athens on Monday. Simply said, the planning was poor but [...]

On 31 March, the KBL-Stupa team met again with Lama Chogdrub Dorje and Wojtek Kossowski, the architect. It was an inspiring conversation:
