Tilogaard
Lolland, Denmark
Tilogaard became a Bodhipath center in 2007. The resident Lama Tendar Olaf Hoeyer has been Shamarpa's student since 1981 and has accomplished the 3 year meditational retreat under the guidance of Gendun Rinpoche from 1991 to 1994. Lama Tendar was director of the Karmapa center in Copenhagen from 1985 to 1989 and has been teaching the Dharma since then and is now resident of Tilogaard.
Tilogaard means "Tilopa's Farm." Tilo is Tilopa in another rendering. Tilogaard came into being in May 2002 and students come here for personal instruction in the view and practise of the Dharma, particularly in the disciplines of Ngoendro, Lojung and shiné-lhagthong. A special group perform the ritual of Karma Pakshi from time to time. Lama Tendar also conducts seminars on meditation at various places in Denmark at different occasions.
On the 4th of July 2009, an association was formed here with the aim to provide a forum for all the Bodhi Path members and supporters of Shamar Rinpoche. The association, Bodhi Path Foreningen, covers the whole of Denmark and has presently representations and premises here, in Copenhagen, Aarhus and Rudkobing.
