Retreat on the Root Initiation of the Longsal Teachings.
Closed webcast
An important message from the retreat organiser. I’d like to take this opportunity to explain more about Samtenling and the retreat in 2014 of the Longsal Root Initiation, because many people are asking about the same things.
Right now we are building a 3 storey building in the Ling, to be able to accommodate around 300 people. It is not just for the coming retreat in October 2014 (people need to stay at the Ling because too many entrances and exits will arouse unnecessary attention, which is not safe in a country like China), but also serves as a retreat center, hopefully for Dzogchen practitioners worldwide in the future, because not only the living expenses are low here, but also we have good facilities at the Ling as you can see from the video, and probably the best but cheapest massage and the best selenium hot spring in the world.
For example, accommodation in the dorm here is about 5 euro per day (including quilt and sheets etc.), and 3 meals made by a good cook for 5 euro. We will also offer good prices for private rooms as retreat rooms.
The hotels in the city are also cheap, from 15 euro to 25 euro on average. A taxi from the city to the Ling is only 10 minutes, for a cost of about 2.5 euro. There is also a bus that only costs 0.12 euro, but you need to walk about 20 minutes to get to the Ling.
In any case, I believe the current conditions and future prospect of Samtenling, the biggest Ling in the Dzogchen Community (already over 400 paid members), will correspond to Rinpoche’s visions in his dreams, that this country will have lots and lots of Dzogchen practitioners.
The only issue now is that the retreat in 2014 of Longsal Root Initiation will not be available to Westerners（灌頂無轉播） (unless with special permission) because their presence here may draw the attention of the local people or government, which is a risk we cannot take for the first teaching retreat of Rinpoche in China. So we will do it very carefully, trying to make the best conditions and preparations in every possible way. But we believe the new generation of Chinese Government is proceeding to a more open and reasonable direction, which can be positive for us in the long run.
