| For Gangchen Rinpoche it was his first trip to Northern Europe and he enjoyed the rough but charming landscape of Donegal (Ireland), and the friendly and open-mindedness of Irish people. Beside giving teachings and initiations he brought also his complete Tibetan pharmacy shop and worked as a healer for some local people. Beside giving a specific medicine for the body, he always added some medicine for the mind. It was amazing to see how willingly our local friends did learn a short Buddhist prayer, tried some unusual visualisations and started to speak the mantra of Shakyamuni Buddha: 'Tayata Om Mune Mune Maha Muneya Svaha'. I'm sure they were very impressed by this :-) Deeply rooted in their Celtic past they love anything magical and unusual, having a very tolerant and curious attitude towards spiritual and shamanic practices! We're sure they will remember this event. |
