September 14th, 2011SI Europe
March 10th, 2011Siddhartha’s Intent Europe was very happy and honoured to host Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche in Berlin/Germany for a whole month in 2010. It was a great visit with profound teachings, amazing empowerments, inspiring puja’s and – of course – with watching the world cup day and night.
One of the reasons why Rinpoche visited Berlin was to take care of the Dharma Gar, a 10 years curriculum of retreat integrated in every day life. For this purpose, SI Europe has rented a house near a lake, where practitioners can live and practise together. Visiting teachers to this retreat place in 2010 include Alak Zenkar Rinpoche and Orgyen Tobgyal Rinpoche.
After leaving Berlin, members of Siddharthas Intent Europe were helping and supporting Rinpoche’s extended European tour, where he travelled over six weeks visiting Russia, Czech Republic, Poland, Bulgaria, Spain and France.
Other local activites of Siddharthas Intent Europe are the Manjughosha Edition, which is printing rare and precious text of great Tibetan Buddhist masters on demand,and a fundraising event of public screening of Rinpoche’s video-teaching every two weeks, which is in cooperation with the Khyentse Foundation.

Good Fortune at SI Australia
September 20th, 2010By Michele Sierra
During the Uttaratantra Teachings in Australia 2008 Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche announced that he had invited one of his senior students, Jakob Leschly to be resident teacher for Siddhartha’s Intent in Australia. Rinpoche expressed confidence in Jakob to relay the authentic Buddhist teachings according to the Khyentse lineage.
It was not until I had the good fortune to attend several of these teachings and also the 10 day Vipashyana retreat , that I realised what a great blessing and opportunity Rinpoche has given our Australian sangha.
Throughout the year we studied the student practice manual, refined some of the pith instructions for the Riwo Sangcho practice and contemplated the profound text “The Great Medicine”, written by Shechen Gyaltsap Rinpoche, the first root teacher to His Holiness Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche and explained by Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche.
On each occasion we gathered together in a small group which allowed time to reflect and formulate questions or request clarification as we went along. These study groups with Jakob were structured in such a way, that there was time to go through the profound teachings offered in the allocated text – contemplate – ask questions – invite Jakob’s comments and later meditate together with our local Sangha. There was also an option, if required, for individual interviews with Jakob to support or refine personal practice.
As a participant in these study groups and Vipashyana retreat, what has been immensely important for me is that Jakob stays true to the authentic Teachings (doesn’t offer a diluted version of Buddhism) He has the knowledge and capacity to make the most complex and profound concepts accessible to people of varying degrees of familiarity with Buddhist philosophy and practice. Through his own practice, as a student of Buddhism, of effort, diligence, self reflection- as well as powerful personal stories of the great Masters, I feel both humbled and inspired by him. In chaotic times like these and with the information overload we all experience, Jakob is able to speak to the intellect as well as the heart using the authentic language of his lineage masters. His modern method of teaching and accessibility has offered a renewed inspiration and appreciation in my own study and practice of Buddhism.
