Why a donation ?

"There is more than thirty years, Kalou Rimpotché founded this center, made of some practitioner determined in their spiritual search and their desire to see a Lama guiding them in their practice. With time passing, the center was developing, various Lamas taught and directed practices, a traditional temple was built in Montpellier, by the force of the motivation, one of the first buddhist center created in France. Meanwhile, Kalou Rimpotché decided to send me in France near the sangha of Montpellier (in 1988), and two years later, a Center of retreats was founded in the Cevennes mounts and was devoted by Bokar Rimpotché (in August 1990). Many Masters visited us, and we even had the honor to receive the visit in September 2000 of His Holiness Dalaï Lama (which encouraged, in particular, and blessed the future projects of the center through models). This development inevitably continued with the recognition of our Center by the French State as religious Congregation (of which the moral value in France corresponds to that of the Foundations or Associations of public utility). Recently, we carried out the purchase of a new house close to the temple of Montpellier (it will make possible to improve our conditions of reception) and the construction of a temple in Kagyu Yi-Ong Tcheu Ling (our Centre of retreats).

Thus, to support the diffusion of the Buddha-dharma, the projects do not miss here… but the Congregation does not profit from any public subsidies and the participations in the training courses and retreats as well as the gifts are not enough to maintain us on our feet… The Center of Montpellier must face restorations of maintenance (roof of the house of Lamas, paintings external of the temple), and would require an extension of the secretariat and shop. The needs of equipment (boiler, dishwasher, dries linen, small cooker for the lama house, news strong computers for the secretariat office, photocopier, etc... exist but it is not fundamental for the moment. On the other hand, the new house located at 15 meter far from the center (and that S.E. Sangyé Nyènpa Rimpotché made us the honor to bless in August 2005) needs large work to be suitably used : at best, to keep the walls and to rebuild on its 1500 m2 constructible, at least, to renovate the stage and to dig the garage to create a refectory for the sangha and the festivities. Whatever, the loan of 1500 euros per month (during 30 years) is very heavy and it is desirable that gifts also flow to help us to refund the bank.

But, I think that it is towards the Center of retreats (which Kalou Rimpotché wished) that must be directed the most urgent efforts. All is to be made. Although connection with the public drinking water network is envisaged, (but for when?...), I hope to be able to carry out installations to make water reserves, in particular by using an existing drilling, rain water, or a source lent by the vicinity.

In addition, conditions of reception and of lodging of this center are very insufficient and they should be improved, as well for the Masters and the lamas, as for the sangha. I worked on a project of architectural reorganization of this traditional house of the Cevennes dedicated to becoming a Center of retreat opened during all the year (for the moment, only some weeks per year) for the sangha (as it is the case for many years) but also for nones, monks, and lamas that wish to do retreats. It is under these conditions that perhaps we will be able to also accomodate a new Lama which will be abble to reside on the spot, such as Bokar Rimpotché had envisaged it before its parinirvana.
This old farmhouse also has splendid cellars which it is necessary to arrange in cells of retreat. The realization of the external temple devoted by Sangyé Nyènpa Rimpotché (a splendid construction in wood) equips this center with a place of practice of which it is necessary to carry out the completions (closing by picture windows ; heating for the practices of winter and air-conditioning for the very hot summers ; floor out of wooden; sound system for the practices and the festivities...). This construction brings already an additional energy to this center. I also hope very deeply that the building of a stupa (whose the Dalaï Lama blessed the model already made for its visit in September 2000) will be an element headlight to involve our sangha towards a way even more luminous.

We are now entering in a period, where, after having initially seen the constitution of a sangha in Montpellier, the construction of a temple of city, and in the second time, the legal protection of a place of practice of the Dagshang Kagyu Lineage and all its houses thanks to the Congregation statute, the installation of a rigorous administrative and technical management, it is necessary for us to think, in the third time, to give us the means to propose something better adapted to the requirements of a sangha increasingly more and in constant and continuous request for courses and practices : the Center of retreat is the place privileged to answer to this spiritual needs, by its exceptional conditions, contributing to the happiness of all the sentient beings.

If you can also contribute yourselves to these plans by your gift, I thank you in advance and I address all my blessings to you, in the name of all the sangha. Even for a modest gift, may it be this wire, which will allow, related to so many others, to form the cord necessary to hoist all our projects until their success ! Do not hesitate either to inform your entourage. Something of beneficial for the dharma can be born to help giving birth to these seeds which, in this life or others, will support the way to hapiness and even until the awakeness of so much and so much people, beyond time and many generations...
I still thank you very deeply."

Les besoins urgents du Centre de retraites Kagyu Yi-Ong Tcheu Ling

---

Lama Sönam Tshering a toujours souhaité mettre l'accent sur la pratique méditative. Pour renforcer cette voie, trois projets nécessaires doivent rapidement voir le jour à Kagyu Yi-Ong Tcheu Ling : la finition du temple extérieur, la réalisation de cellules individuelles de retraites, la construction d'un stupa. Une fois réalisés, le Centre de retraites deviendra, encore un peu plus, un haut lieu de spiritualité pour la région. L'essence de ce lieu se révèlera alors encore plus profondément.

Finir le temple extérieur : C'est en septembre 2004 que la construction de cet édifice a débuté. Il s'agit d'une belle structure surmontée d'une charpente traditionnelle en pin douglas. Le temple est spacieux et agréable, niché au sein d'un écrin naturel sompteux. Bien que consacré en août 2005 par Sangyé Nyènpa Rimpotché, ce lieu est loin d'être terminé : il nécessite particulièrement d'être clos par des baies vitrées, climatisé, sonorisé, et bien éclairé.

Estimation des travaux restants à réaliser = 25000 €

Réaliser des cellules de retraites : Le Centre de retraites accueille chaque année des retraitants dans le cadre de son programme. Toutefois, les condition d'accueil sont limitées. Il est nécessaire de pouvoir offrir à tous la possibilité de réaliser des retraites individuelles dans des chambres prévues à cet effet et disposant de toutes les commodités. Le "Mas des molières" dispose d'anciennes caves voutées dont l'aménagement est tout à fait réalisable.

Estimation des travaux = 40000 €

Construire un stupa : Lors de sa venue en septembre 2000, Sa Sainteté le Dalaï Lama a encouragé les projets de notre centre du dharma, et bénit ceux-ci au travers de deux maquettes. L'une d'entre elles concernait le projet de stupa. Elaboré depuis de nombreuses années, ce projet de stupa peut rapidement voir le jour grâce à la générosité de donateurs qui aideront à doter le Centre d'un support d'éveil profond.

Urgent needs of our Retreat center "Kagyu Yi-Ong Tcheu Ling "

Lama Sönam Tshering always wished to stress the méditative practice. To reinforce this way, three projects necessary must quickly be born at Kagyu Yi-Ong Tcheu Ling : completion of the external temple, realization of individual cells of retreats, construction of one stupa. Once realized, the Center of retreats will become, still a little more, one high place of spirituality for the area. Then, the goal of this place will be appear even more deeply.

Finish the external temple : In September 2004 began the construction of this building. It acts of a beautiful overcome structure of a traditional frame in Douglas pine. The temple is roomy and pleasant, and surrounded of a splendid panorama favourable with contemplation. Although devoted in August 2005 by Sangyé Nyènpa Rimpoché, this place is far from being finished : it particularly requires to be closed by windows, to be air-conditioned, wired for sound, and to be well enlightened.

Estimate of remaining work to realize = 25000 €

Realize retreat cells : The Center of retreats accomodates each year peaple in relation with its programme of activities. However, the condition of reception are limited. It is necessary to be able to offer to all the possibility of carrying out individual retreats in rooms envisaged for this and having all the conveniences. The "Mas [Traditionnal farmhouse] of the Molières" has old cellars whose installation is completely realizable.
Estimated coast of works = 40000 €

Build a stupa : When His Holiness came in our temple of Montpellier (September 2000), He encouraged the plans of our center of the dharma, and blessed them through two models. One of them was related to the plan of a stupa. Already made since many years, this stupa can quickly be born thanks to the generosity of givers who will help us to equip the Center with a great support of awakeness.
Estimated coast of works = 20000 €
