group rituals, individual practice +
All instructions and sadhana practices are translated into French. We can choose between Tibetan or French for all the individual daily practices.
For the group rituals, each week or month we will decide with the other retreatants in which language we want to sing (usually one week/month French and one week/month Tibetan) +
I had started to get...and started to get a rudimentary knowledge of Tibetan. Hence, the Yidam sadhana, torma offerings....and so on
I had started to get Tibetan lessons from a monk at my monastery Jamchen Lhakang, but with moving to Pharping and living in a Bhutanese monastery without monks, but only Nepalese and difficult living conditions, I could never study Tibetan. Further, H.E. Chogye Trichen Rinpoche had explicitly advised me not to engage in formal study, but to do retreat caretaker. However, as all important ritual texts and sadhanas are available in a bi-lingual English translation with Tibetan transliteration, I have been able to conduct all rituals in Tibetan (which I prefer most) and started to get a rudimentary knowledge of Tibetan. +
We reciteall our practices in Tibetan but for those who don'tknow it, phonetics and translations are always available. +
Group rituals - With english translation
Individual practice - With english translation +
- All of the above mentioned will be in Tibetan, but with translation underneath the Tibetan text.
- The instructions will be given in Tibetan but will be translated into English and French, and the retreat program will be the Chogling Terra practice of Ven. Urgyen Rinpoche's Tradition within the Nyingma Tradition. +
All will be in Tibetan except when being instructed on a new ritual or practice. +
All the pechas that will be used throughout the retreat have not only the tibetan script but also the phonetic transliteration, as well as the English translation.
Group chanting and individual practice will be in Tibetan using these texts. For instructions, there will always be an English translator present when the Drupon Lama is imparting the teachings.
This is why Tibetan language and reading comprehension is recommended but not mandatory for the retreat at Kagyu Thubten Choling.
A person that possess good English skills can participate in all the activities the retreat has to offer. +
Teachings will be given in Tibetan with an English translator. Group rituals and individual room practice will be chanted in Tibetan (although retreatants will have access to transliterated pechas if/when needed). +
Group rituals will be in Tibetan, individual practice I think it can be done in either Tibetan or English. And the instruction will be in English maybe with also some original recordings in Tibetan +
Group rituals and individual practice will be conducted in Tibetan and I will translate the teachings from Tibetan into English. +
The instructions will be in Tibetan with English translation, and sometimes in English as the retreat master speaks English quite well himself.
Group rituals are performed in Tibetan, and individual practice is up to each one if we prefer to chang in english, Tibetan, or other avilable language.
I would love to come to retreat with a good level so I can improve over the three years and relate to the practice more deeply +
Most practices will be in the Tibetan language with English translation. No knowledge of Tibetan language is required. +
