Dharma-eLearning Impermanence in Progress

Dear vajra brothers and sisters,

after careful deliberation and consulting with Rinpoche I am saddened to inform you about a change that may or may not affect or concern you.

Rinpoche’s teachings and the practice counter at Dharma.online will still be available, so your practice should not be affected too badly.

As mentioned previously all video content is available through dupseng.org (or contact Rinpoche's secretary). The 'modules' will be made available elsewhere, if you are currently using them, or have other questions, simply reach out to me.

Thank you for reading this.

After five years back in Berlin I have to admit defeat and concede that it is not possible for me to develop Ogminio and its activities into anything justifying the efforts and costs incurred by keeping the legal infrastructure alive.

Since I had founded Ogminio gUG in 2019 as a means to continue my previous digital Dharma activities for Rinpoche it has been a registered non-profit and tax exempt under German and EU laws (so donations are potentially tax deductable for the donors). However the cost for the minimum legal and tax activities to meet regulatory requirements alone have far exceeded the donations received during that period.

While there was a benefit generated by running Dharma-eLearning and the social mantra counter on https://Dharma.online, the cost/benefit ratio doesn’t feel justifiable in the long run, especially since I didn’t have sufficient conditions to expand the activities and put any further ideas into practice, being hardly able to keep up with the efforts required for the things Ogminio did do.

So it is with a heavy heart that I am informing you today that Ogminio has ceased operating at the end of 2023. Both the contents on Dharma-eLearning and the mantra counter will continue to be accessible, so there shouldn’t be much of a loss for your practice.

If you need an official tax receipt for past donations, kindly let me know and you will of course get one.

Thank you for being a part of these activities, not just for the past five years but for the past ten years, ever since the first initiative was conceived during the first Mahakala course at KIBS in 2013. I am sure that we will continue to meet and practice together in the future.

All the best wishes to you and all beings, may your practice and beneficial activities flourish and grow!

May all be auspicious!

Cheers & smiles, Kai ‘Jinpa’ Roloff.
