Union of The Great Seal and the Great Perfection

10:30am - 1:00pm and 2:30 - 4.30pm

The Union of The Great Seal and the Great Perfection is a major teaching in the form of  a series of eight songs composed by Karma Chakme. Characterised by its directness and clarity it is one of the most famous set of meditation instructions in the Kagyu tradition.

In his text Karma Chakme guides us through the common and uncommon preliminary practices of Vajrayana and then by focussing on the meditation of Chenrezik he teaches the methods of deity yoga. This is followed by an introduction to the combined practice of the Great Seal (Mahamudra) and the Great Perfection (Dzok Chen).

Please note that in order to complete the text, Lama Jampa will once again give a full day of teachings. The initiation of Amitabha will be given at the next event in Yorkshire (Spring 2024).
