You have to medidate!

Dear Shamar Rinpoche, it is now ten years, that I first met you in Germany and had the privilege to get teachings from you and be part of the Renchen/Ulm Sangha. One point you always made very clearly is your request that we should meditate. I am so grateful to you that you requested us […]

juste 4 ans…

J’avais pris refuge depuis deux ans, et des amis du Dharma m’ont encouragé à aller à Dhagpo rencontrer shamar rinpoché, en mai 2011. Au delà de son enseignement, sans qu’on se soit jamais rencontré vraiment, dans l’anomymat de la foule, c’est sa présence, la présence de son esprit qui s’est connectée au mien qui m’a […]

The Most Compassionate!!

To Shamar Rinpoche: You are being the light, guiding human in their path, For many have lost ours, you guide us by your heart. Your compassion for all the living things that the earth hold, In my heart, etched in golden letters is whatever you ever told. For I am here to follow your way, […]

Subjugué par le maître

Nous étions en retraite à Kundreul Ling II. Shamarpa est venu nous rendre visite. A l´ouverture de la porte du droupkang, il était tellement puissant que nous avons quasiment tous reculé d´un mètre (au sens figuré) et il nous offert un merveilleux sourire plein de bieveillance. Peu après, assis sur son trône il me semblait […]

souvenir de Shamar Rinpoché

Nous étions en route pourle Bost quand sur une aire de repos où l’herbe était rase et peu accueillante, Shamar Rinpoché dans un regard rêveur nous a parlé de l’univers de Déwachen : ” là-bas l’herbe est grasse, très douce au toucher. Les fleurs sont belles et parfurmées. Tout est serein et..”. Pendant ces quelques […]

ODE TO MY ROOT GURU

ODE TO MY ROOT GURU How I want whole wide world to feel what I feel to be in your ‘presence’ But words fail me … Why am I even surprised? Wisdom is not a scholar’s muse Emptiness is not a fisherman’s catch Bodhicitta is not a copyright quote You were part of everything, including […]

You don’t have to fear to swim against the stream

Having the chance to bid farewell to the great Kunzig Shamarpa in idyllic Renchen-Ulm, I realized clearer than ever how much Rinpoche had inspired me. I received both my first Bodhisattva promise and my first tantric buddhist initiation from him in 1986; his ‘retour-smile’ to me then reflected just joy. When in later years we […]

Oh precious teacher

Oh precious teacher, Countless eons ago, you cut all suffering at the root and realized that whatever is dependently arisen is unceasing, unborn, unannihilated, not permanent, not coming, not going, without distinction, without identity and free from conceptual construction. Yet I, for whom these are but words, am struck by grief on this sad day […]

another picture from Shamar’s visit to Sweden

Here is a picture that is of Shamarpa posing in front of our altar at Karme Tenpe Gyaltsen – we were very very fortunate to have him visit and give us Amitabha initiation and bodhisattva vows. Please return swiftly, Shamar Rinpoche!
