Sakya Changlochen Ling Summer Course - week 2

During this second week of the Sakya Changlochen Ling Summer School, Lama Jampa will give teachings on Sakya Pandita’s Reply to Nyimo Gomchen and bestow the Initiation of Red Tara.

Sakya Pandita’s ‘Reply to Nyimo Gomchen’

Sakya Pandita’s text consists of replies to questions posed by a 13th century meditation practitioner of the time – Nyimo Gomchen. This text dealt with many of the burning questions about Buddhism in Tibet, at a time when there was a lot of confusion and uncertainty about what Buddhism actually is. The topics covered range from the relationship with the lama, what prayer is for, what enlightenment is (and is not) and how this is achieved.

Initiation of Red Tara

From the lineage of the Indian master, Vagishvakirti. Among the many forms of Tara, Red Tara is the special embodiment of the attracting and magnetising qualities of enlightened mind.
