Letter to the Noble Minded

Saturday 26 March, 10:30am - 1:00pm

Letter to the Noble Minded is a companion text to the ‘Reply to Nyimo Gomchen’ and contains definitive advice for how to understand and practise all the teachings of the Buddha in a single path. Sakya Pandita explains what the Dharma is and how it is to be practised in terms of all the three vehicles. This teaching is suitable for both new and more experienced practitioners.

(Although this is the second part of the text the event is open to people who did not come to the first part given in London in October 2021.)

Initiation of Namgyalma

Saturday 26 March, 2:30 - 4:30pm

Namgyalma (Ushnishavijaya in Sanskrit) is one of the three main Buddhist deities of longevity, along with White Tara and Amitayus. She is also associated with the development of transcendental wisdom. Revering and meditation on Namgyalma grants both mundane and transcendental siddhis. The most important of her mundane accomplishments is preserving and strengthening life energy, the granting of long life. Her profound siddhi is the swift accomplishment of transcendental wisdom.
