Страница: 2 из 520 '92 Tibetan Center of Hamburg City kindly offered the opportunity to several St.Petersburg Buddhists to listen to teachings, receive initiations and study literature on important problems of Buddhist philosophy & practice.
Spiritual preceptor of this Center is Tibetan Lama Geshe Thubten Ngawang, who resides in Hamburg now for over 13 years, and who is considered to be one of most authoritative Teachers of Buddhism in modern Germany. In The Center, which enjoys spiritual guidance of H.H. the Dalai Lama, there are residing also 6 Germans: 3 monks & 3 nuns, and one young Tibetan monk.
From Aug. 9 to Sept. 16 in Tibetan Center of Hamburg were present two women colleagues from St.Petersburg Datsan: Ms. E.Kharkova & Ms. Z.Munkuyeva, who had been invited to attend female seminar/retreat (attempt to organize which, however, failed).
From Aug. 9 to Sept. 20 this Center was visited by Mr. Alexander Pubants - one of translators of Geshe's precepts in St.Petersburg Datsan. Besides participating in studies, he worked there on transcription of Geshe's precepts, translating a course of his teaching & initiations from German into Russian.
On Sept. 1-20 in Tibetan Center also liveed & participated in its activities long-time friends of this Center Mr. Oleg Borisov - coordinator of St.Petersburg "The Buddhist House" union, and his wife Svetlana.
Sojourn in Tibetan Center produced best impressions in all visitors. The Center does function on a very advanced creative level, providing highly efficient & versatile instruction & guidance for all its members, numbering over 300.
All Center's members from a single creative organism, whose directive principle is full openness of participation for everybody - to the extent, determined by each participant's capacity & willingness.
St.Petersburgers, who'd been fortunate to be Center's guests, expressed their sincere hearty thanks to all Center's members, - and especially to its Spiritual Head Geshe Thubten Ngawang, - for generously offered possibility to listen to Teaching and gifts of valuable materials on Buddhist philosophy & practice, culture & modern situation in Tibet; - and, in general, for friendly care & cooperation.
We've invited Geshe to visit St.Petersburg again, and he'd agreed to come to our city - and also Buryatia - in August-September of the next year. He'd be welcomed everywhere.
