Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche will guide a five-year practice curriculum, from late 2008 to 2013, near Berlin. It will be a Dharma Gar, a Dharma Camp, where people can commit themselves to the practice without totally giving up their work and their normal social life. Rinpoche has created a curriculum of practices to be done at designated times by all the participants. The curriculum will demand in average four hours of practice every day. Other than that, people are free to live any way they want. Boundaries will be chosen individually.
The Dharma Gar house has 10 very different rooms, situated near a road and the local train station. It has a big garden, is near a lake and forests, and offers space for six people to practice together. For additional information, contact info@siddharthasintent.de.
