With the setting up of Buddhist centres of various lineages, it has been possible to receive teaching and proper transmission, both by oriental and western Lamas within France itself. \u00a0\u00a0This is very fortunate and should certainly awaken our gratitude for all those who have worked toward this aim and are still doing so.<\/p>\n<p>However, there comes a time in life \u2013and many of the first batch of French Buddhists have reached the stage when age and sometimes ailments prevent them from visiting these existing centres.\u00a0\u00a0 This is precisely at the crucial time in one\u2019s life when one feels the need to prepare for the last journey with a proper view of the Dharma, in suitable, quiet surroundings, among friends who share the similar aspirations and under the guidance of spiritual masters and fellow believers.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0With this in mind a project of a residence for elderly Buddhist practioners was initiated.\u00a0 \u00a0Lama Sherab Namdreul from Yogi Ling in the Allier region was its instigator.\u00a0 He took care of all the administrative procedures but, above all, ensured that the interested and involved persons had the proper spiritual motivation, the reason being that the \u201c<strong><em>Oasis of Long Life<\/em><\/strong>\u201d was not to be just a home for old people, but essentially a centre of the Dharma. Lama Sherab Namdreul was soon joined by a group of motivated persons prepared to take part in the project as immediate residents, future residents or benefactors.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-919\" href=\"https:\/\/bodhicharya.org\/manyroads\/2011\/04\/04\/oasis-of-long-life-by-annette-tamuly-jung\/oasis-snow\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-919\" title=\"oasis snow\" src=\"https:\/\/d2wipdjmobk1g8.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2011\/04\/22152713\/oasis-snow-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2wipdjmobk1g8.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2011\/04\/22152713\/oasis-snow-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d2wipdjmobk1g8.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2011\/04\/22152713\/oasis-snow.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In October 2005 a property was purchased in the Cher region about 45 km south of Bourges, near a small village, comprising a home of about 196 square meter situated in a park of 3.3 hectares (approximately 7 acres), swimming pool and a\u00a0 large garage. The first resident occupied this house for a couple of years while a purpose-built home was under construction. Later a second person settled at the \u201c<strong><em>Oasis of Long Life\u201d<\/em><\/strong> and, eventually in 2009 both residents were able to move into their personal dwelling units. Another house should be completed in 2011 to accommodate a third resident. It is planned to construct no more than 10 to 12 houses in order to preserve a family-like living environment. All that has been achieved to date is thanks to the generosity, patience and good-will of all those involved directly, particularly those persons involved in the construction, maintenance and management of the residence.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-928\" href=\"https:\/\/bodhicharya.org\/manyroads\/2011\/04\/04\/oasis-of-long-life-by-annette-tamuly-jung\/minolta-digital-camera-5\/\"><\/a><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-928\" href=\"https:\/\/bodhicharya.org\/manyroads\/2011\/04\/04\/oasis-of-long-life-by-annette-tamuly-jung\/minolta-digital-camera-5\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-925\" href=\"https:\/\/bodhicharya.org\/manyroads\/2011\/04\/04\/oasis-of-long-life-by-annette-tamuly-jung\/oasis-2-2\/\"><\/a><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-926\" href=\"https:\/\/bodhicharya.org\/manyroads\/2011\/04\/04\/oasis-of-long-life-by-annette-tamuly-jung\/minolta-digital-camera-3\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-929\" href=\"https:\/\/bodhicharya.org\/manyroads\/2011\/04\/04\/oasis-of-long-life-by-annette-tamuly-jung\/oasis-5\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Needless to say the <strong><em>Oasis of Long Life<\/em><\/strong> is not a sort of Dewatchen!
