Live to Love

We have chosen for the third time the station district for the Live to Love activity.

A very cold day in Hamburg, glacial east wind.

Therefore we have opened the jackets for the group photo and then attached stickers and buttons on our clothes. In good spirits and full of openness for everything what may come, we set out ino the station.

Astonishing how many ways of life appear at a rather small place.

Dear Sangha,

for the third sunday in january, I organized an afternoon in an old-peoples-home for them, who have no more relatives or don`t get any visit.
The leader was very happy about this idea and organized coffee and cake and I organized two musicians who played old folk-songs which the people know very well from their younger days and joined in singing and dancing. I think they were quite happy and a circle of giving and taking took place because flowers were given to me as a thank for organising that and I gave some money and presents to the musicians who actually didn`t like to take anything. We will repeat this regularly, which makes me very happy.

Lots of love to all the Sangha-members all around the world from Jigme Päldrön from Germany

Dear Holiness,
We are so grateful for this big chance.
It was also a big teaching in The Four Immasurable Thoughts.

Thanks Buddha!
Thanks Dharma!
Thanks Sangha!

We all have learned a lot, laughed, felt
and are filled with great gratitude!

Rigdzin Dölma – Agnes and me decided to bring
the all year ritual into
your Life to Love Activity.

We told some old students of healing about it
and also some patients.

Some of them will come the first time to you
in January to Hofheim.

What a result!

So many presents where brought into the healing center.

Sleeping bags, pullover, socks, muffler, gloves and foot
and some christmas cookies too.
Most wrapped up into nice paper.

Since a few years it is difficult situation for our homeless
sisters & brothers in Hamburg.
The senate has determinated ” a clean Townscape”
a few years ago & police troops are again & again sending
this poor people away from the places, where they could
collect a little money.

In that way, they have been new laws,
which determine the duty for dogs to wear a chip.
But that the animal loving people.
who haven’t got a home, can’t affort.
So they are being pushed further away to the outskirts,
where they have almost no chance, to beg a collection.

A homeless women and two men, who sell “Hinz und Kunz”.
H & K is a very good projekt from and for homeless Ones
and makes the experience for them, to earn their own money
and with that they get their dignity back.

Sheperd without work.
He comes from the east of germany, called Mecklenburger
Land.
He and his friend are living in the woods.
He use to come in the wintermonth , on Saturday, into the
city, to collect money, for himself, his friends and his animals
- sheeps & dogs -.
The little white one at the wall was the first time exposed to
artificial light & the hustle of the city.
He shivered and was very frightend.
Following the conservation, we got to know, that the sheperd
wanted to leave the last and smallest one of the brood.
Anke & Christian (he is squatting oppsite of the sheperd)
took the little shepered dog.
So much happiness !

Christian had to make the decision on his own, because
his partner Anke, was in Münster to work.
But it was clear, that it was welcome.

A wonderful lady, who is handicapped & gets a very small pension. Sometimes she puts, when it is really tight, a bowl on the street.

Love & Light from Germany!
