Situ Dharmakara's  Commentary on the Mahamudra Aspiration Prayer

Saturday 3 February 10:30am - 12:30pm and 2:30 - 4:30pm

Sunday 4 February 10:30am - 12:30pm

Situ Dharmakara's  celebrated work is a guide to the Aspiration Prayer composed by the 3rd Karmapa, Rangjung Dorje. In elucidating the prayer, the commentary provides an extraordinarily profound explanation of Mahamudra meditation and a defence of the special precepts preserved in the Kagyu tradition.

Initiation of Green Tara

Sunday 4 February 2:30 - 4:30pm

The goddess Tara is revered in all traditions of Vajrayana Buddhism as the embodiment of the liberating activity of all buddhas. As such her initiation and meditation are especially effective means of awakening one’s innate capacity for enlightened compassion.
