The teachings will take place in the “Tigle” center, located at Romvis 20, Syntagma, in the heart of Athens’s commercial, tourist and historical district.

Re: Loppon Ogyan Tanzin Rinpoche in Athens, Greece
Hi Greg,
Thanks for the info. I have a silly question: Do the Tröma empowerment, Ngakpa ordination, and hair empowerment come as a package, or can one take just the empowerment and still get haircuts afterwards?

Generally, you can ask to be pardoned during the skra dbang, i.e. you receive it, but you apologize for not keeping it.

I see. Thanks!
Re: Loppon Ogyan Tanzin Rinpoche in Athens, Greece
The dates for the retreat have been finalised for July 14-18 2016.
The first two (possibly three) days of the seminar will be dedicated to the empowerment and practices of Throma Nagmo.
The final days will be dedicated to the ritual reading and explanations of the text by Dudjom Lingpa.
The cost of the seminar will be 15 euro for two 3 hour sessions per day, or 10 euro for one session per day, in order to cover expenses plus a private donation to be made directly to Rinpoche from each participant.
If you are registered as unemployed, a pensioner or a student, the costs will be waved (but not the private donation).
There will be accommodation, by donation, available at a temple which is a short walk from the retreat center (for those that are experiencing economic difficulties). Those staying at the temple will need to bring a sleeping bag/sheets and a yoga mat to sleep on.

Re: Loppon Ogyan Tanzin Rinpoche in Athens, Greece
I know what you mean! There is a Kalachakra initiation this September here in Athens and they are charging 400 euro + donation. The minimum wage here in Greece is 500 euro per month. As a psychologist working with refugees, I was getting paid 900 euro per month!philji wrote:Congratulations on keeping costs sensible and very low..

Due to the generosity of some donors, I was able to keep the costs as low as possible so that our Greek, Balkan and Slavic Vajra brothers and sisters are able to come and receive these precious teachings and empowerments.
