My dear friends
I want to share with you the current news of the situation in Kagyu ling. Since this is my own web site, all students of previous Kalu Rinpoche that are connected to me are welcome, just as my new students, and i want to share the good news with all of you
With the great blessing and support from Vajradara Kenting the Twelfth Tai Situpa, and the support of my dharma brothers and sisters, changes have been made and the re-organisation of the center has been started.
It felt like I washed our old clothes. Previous Kalu Rinpoche brought some clothes for you and I am the one who has to wash them now, because I like clean clothes, just like all of us… we all like clean clothes.
Since it is in my name, this is my centre, but really it is your centre because previous Kalu Rinpoche made the centre for you. Actually it is neither your centre nor mine, we just have responsibility to protect it until we can hand it over to the next generation of students when they become mature in the Dharma.
For that purpose, I have decided on a new team for Kagyu Ling, is my main centre and seat in France:
Superior of the congregation: Lama Trinlé (Daniel Gerrer).
Lama Trinlé has been student of Kalu Rinpoche since 1974. He studied administration and then completed Three-year retreat in 1988. He is a fully ordained monk and has been lama of my centre in Brasilia, Brazil for the last five years where he helped establish and teach a Three-year retreat.
Director: Lama Lodrö (Thierry Truillet)
Lama Lodrö has been student of Kalu Rinpoché since 1979 and also completed Three-year retreat in 1988. He was lama of Kagyu Dzong, my center in Paris, for many years and for the last few years has been assisting with my center in Lille while completing his doctoral studies in cognitive psychology in Paris.
Treasurer: Lama Eric Gregis
Lama Eric has been a student of Kalu Rinpoche since 1984 and was resident in Kagyu Ling for many years and completed his Three-year retreat here 1992. He then completed a second Three-year retreat in ascetic conditions in the mountains of the Jura. He is appreciated for his meditative experience, and humility.
It is easy to like people. In general I like everybody. But it is difficult to find people you can really trust. These three lamas I really trust; I can give you my word that they are completely trustworthy. As well the residents and office staff that will work with us have been carefully chosen by my own hand.
I am also happy to say that I have met with the founders of my centres in Nice and also Sukha Choling in the south of France who assured me of the loyalty of their centres. They join my centres in Lille, Marseille and Montpellier. I would like to express my love and gratitude to students of all of these centers.
Soon we will post a slide show from these days in Kagyu Ling.
from my heart…
thank you. thank you thank you!
Great news!!! The best!
Dear Rinpoche la,
Thanks for sharing the great news to us.
Excellent!
ohhh, So glad to hear that!
me alegro de las noticias!:D
Great news!…I am happy for you and for what you do!…May all your aspirations fulfill fast!
You take such good care of us Kalu-La, thank you with all my heart.
I am glad to see your dharma activities are blooming allover the world .
But that means you will be more and more busy. Please care yourself !
Love and support you forever ~~
emaho
thanks for sharing the good news.
my all of this auspiciousness light up the universe…
Good news, Rinpoche. I’m so glad… Here you have the Spanish translation. With all my love and devotion.
La luz vuelve a brillar
Mis queridos amigos:
Quiero compartir con vosotros las últimas noticias de la situación en Kagyu Ling. Dado que este es mi propio sitio web, todos los discípulos del anterior Kalu Rinpoché que están conectados conmigo son bienvenidos, igual que mis nuevos alumnos, y quiero compartir las buenas noticias con todos vosotros.
Con la gran bendición y el apoyo del Vajradara Kenting, el XII Tai Situpa, y el apoyo de mis hermanos y hermanas en el Dharma, se han hecho cambios y ha empezado la reorganización del centro.
Me he sentido como si estuviera lavando nuestra ropa vieja. El anterior Kalu Rinpoché trajo ropa para vosotros y yo soy quien tiene que lavarla ahora, porque me gusta la ropa limpia, igual que a todos… a todos nos gusta la ropa limpia.
Puesto que está a mi nombre, este es mi centro, pero en realidad es vuestro centro, porque el anterior Kalu Rinpoché hizo el centro para vosotros. En realidad, no es ni vuestro centro ni el mío, simplemente tenemos la responsabilidad de protegerlo hasta que podamos entregarlo a la próxima generación de estudiantes cuando estén maduros en el Dharma.
A tal fin, he decidido nombrar un nuevo equipo para Kagyu Ling, mi centro principal y mi sede en Francia:
Superior de la congregación: Lama Trinle (Daniel Gerrer).
Lama Trinle es discípulo de Kalu Rinpoché desde 1974. Ha estudiado Administración y luego hizo el retiro de tres años, que terminó en 1988. Es un monje ordenado con todos los votos y en los últimos cinco años ha sido lama en mi centro de Brasil, donde ha ayudado a establecer un retiro de tres años y a dar enseñanzas a los retirantes.
Director: Lama Lodrö (Thierry Truillet)
Lama Lodrö es discípulo de Kalu Rinpoché desde 1979 y también terminó el retiro de tres años en 1988. Durante muchos años ha sido lama de Kagyu Dzong, mi centro en París, y en los últimos años ha estado ayudando en mi centro de Lille, al mismo tiempo que terminaba su doctorado en Psicología cognitiva en París.
Tesorero: Lama Eric Gregis
El lama Eric es discípulo de Kalu Rinpoché desde 1984 y fue residente de Kagyu Ling muchos años. Aquí terminó su retiro de tres años en 1992. Posteriormente hizo un segundo retiro de tres años en condiciones ascéticas en las montañas del Jura. Es apreciado por su experiencia en meditación y su humildad.
Es fácil que la gente te caiga bien. En general, a mí me cae bien todo el mundo. Pero es difícil encontrar personas en las que puedas confiar de verdad. Confío de verdad en estos tres lamas, puedo daros mi palabra de que son totalmente dignos de confianza. Además, he elegido cuidadosa y personalmente a los residentes y al personal de la oficina que trabajarán con nosotros.
También me complace decir que me he reunido con los fundadores de mis centros de Niza y también de Sukha Chöling, en el sur de Francia, que me han garantizado la lealtad de sus centros, que se unen así a mis centros de Lille y Montpellier. Quiero expresar mi amor y gratitud a los estudiantes de todos estos centros.
Pronto publicaré una serie de fotos de estos días en Kagyu Ling.
De corazón…
We’re very happy about the news. Ven. Lama Trinle did a lot for us in Brazil. Sure we’re gonna miss him, but he sowed the seeds here, and now we’re gonna have our own lamas, with the help of the Ven. Lama Sönam. I’m sure this is a wise choice, and all sentient beings will benefit from that.
It’s so nice to get website back….
Also, so nice to read this news from Rinpoche today!
Sincerely wish Kagyu Ling will keep going smoothly & let more & more
students back to Kagyu Ling to do Dharma practice, Retreat…etc.
All wish…. keep Dharma in the right way and lead students on the Path
to practice Dharma!
What good news!!!!
congratulations !!!!
Thank you.
Thank you, may their be peace now and the dharma flourish. May your activity be without obstacles and your life be long. My prayers and heart are with you.
Looks like you had a busy and fruitful weekend retreat…Hope you can work out the last wrinkles (mostly legal I guess?),,,and the other side is treated fairly. Congratulations.
Rinpoche la~~!!
I’m so moved to hear the news… and very happy to see your changes…
Thank you for the sharing it for us….
We all belive in you and shangpa kakyu lineage…. beautiful transmission..
I think the Dharma will bloom again in the center with your new team…
Take good care and be happy la~~!!
sending happiness and love ……♥

And Daniel is a dharma friend from Kagyu Dzong in 1981-82 (where we lived together with Drubgyu, Lama Gyurme, Françoise). A great person !
Wow !
Dharma politics is really depressing, but I guess it is part of being born in a degenerate time. I am glad that this situation was resolved.
Congratulations and Happy for you!! \\^0^//
May the fruit come from the flower in Kagyu Ling !

This is wonderful news …Eric is a dharma brother ..we did three years at the same time …I am so happy for him and am sure he will do a great job…am glad he could do a second three year retreat …. and Kagyu Ling is such a beautiful place…did volunteer work there in preparation for retreat from 1985 to 1988…then the solitary retreat in a camping caravan…but I was bad….now looking forwards to come back to Kagyu Ling sometime and brush up my practice…yeaaaah,Rinpoche ,you really rock my heart……
Goooooooood! Trinlé is my master in Brasilia along with Lama Sonam! Congratulatiooons!

” 佛法政治學 ” ~~ 在現在的世界是很重要的一門課. 不得不低頭, 不得不接受. 沒有對與錯,只有” 要不要 “.
It’s great to the the light shines again Rinpoche-la~~~
Read the good news first and only just now all the bad news before…because my computer is finished….am still shocked at how bad it was… yet you did overcome the obstacle in such a short time… am so happy for Kagyu Ling …hope to be able to help if there is need in the future …like rebuilding or cleaning the retreat centers and all…previously at Kagyu Ling I was not bad but did not do a very good retreat as there was plenty of obstacles….that’s all… and also had to leave afterwards due to power structures…..really appreciate that you wrote about all this so openly …and that it is resolved now…my heart is with you and my daily practice…
Very happy!!! This is what I hope and believe.
So happy to see you happy!
Love,
Alky
