During the 2009 Bodhicharya Summer Camp, Ringu Tulku Rinpoche invited the astrophysicist Laurent Nottale to say a few words about the principle of relativity. Subsequently, many participants expressed their wish to have more details about this point, especially concerning the possible link with the Buddhist concept of emptiness. Therefore, Laurent presented a separate talk in which he more precisely addressed the principle further.
This talk has now been transcribed and translated into English. You can download the document from our Transcribed Teachings page in Ringu Tulku Rinpoche’s section on the website.

In this new video, Ringu Tulku Rinpoche introduces the forthcoming Online Study Group and the object of the study, Shantideva’s Bodhicharyavatara—a core textbook in a traditional Shedra and one of the most important texts to study on the Buddhist path.
As Rinpoche says, according to the great Tibetan Master Patrul Rinpoche,
“If you really understand this book, then you understand more or less everything about Buddhism. This book contains not only the understanding, but also the heart, the practice, the meditation, the action – therefore you don’t need anything else to study but this book, Bodhicharyavatara.”
The Online Study Group will start on the Bodhicharya website around the beginning of October. Please read more about the study schedule, text resources and requested commitments on the Shedra Study area.
Everybody is warmly invited to partake in this wonderful opportunity. If you have not joined in yet, please register on the Bodhicharya website, and also send your name and email to shedra@bodhicharya.org to be added in the study group members. Please pass on the invitation to all your dharma friends.
As Rinpoche says in the video, this year he was not able to visit all the centers he usually visits, so he hopes that this online Shedra will be a way to connect and study together.
We wish to thank Ringu Tulku Rinpoche and Tom Zachmeier, who kindly recorded this video recently at Bodhicharya Berlin in the midst of a busy schedule.

Dear Friends,
Hoping you are all well.
As many of you will know we are working towards launching a new on-line magazine ‘Many Roads’ on the Bodhicharya website. We have received some wonderful articles that we will share with you all sometime in September. But we need some help!!
We have received a great article from a very special lady of 82 about her spiritual journey. It is in French and we need someone to translate from French to English before posting on Many Roads. Is there anyone out there who can help?
We have a deadline of the end of September that can be extended for a week or so. Please do contact me if you are fluent in French and English and you want to help us.
Please email manyroads@bodhicharya.org
love to all,
Margaret Ford
For Bodhicharya’s Many Roads

We have simplified our Members and News subscription services. Now all you need to do is register as a member (in the sidebar on the left) to receive news updates from the website. Becoming a member also allows you to leave comments on all the news that is posted.
It also allows you to join in the new Shedra section. However, to participate in the Shedra’s Online Study Group, you will still need to email your name to shedra@bodhicharya.org to be added to the list of participating students. For more info on the Shedra, see our article here or visit the Shedra section here.
We have also translated the website into eleven additional languages (French, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Spanish, Danish, Polish, Norwegian, Chinese, German and Finnish). This service is provided by Google Translate and it is currently still being undertaken. To access the website in a different language, just click on the relevant flag icon in the sidebar. The translations may not be super perfect, but they will make the website much more accessible to all of Rinopche’s non-English speaking students.
We now have a Bodhicharya Group Flickr area where students can share all their images relating to Bodhicharya events and projects. You can visit it it here or at this address: http://www.flickr.com/groups/bodhicharya/. You will need to sign up with Flickr to upload your images. This will hopefully become a resource of images for the website. Don’t forget to tag your images with at least the year and location and add a description though!
Finally, just a reminder. If you, or your group, have any news you feel is relevant to our news home page, just send it in (with images) to news@bodhicharya.org.
All the best to everyone,
webmaster@bodhicharya.org
