The Friendly Letter

10:30am - 1:00pm

Composed by the great philosopher Nagarjuna, The Friendly Letter is a supremely clear account of how we can practise the threefold path of morality, meditation and wisdom. To elucidate the text Lama Jampa will teach according to the detailed commentary The Telescope of Wisdom by Karma Thinley Rinpoche.

Initiation of Yellow Dzambhala

2:30pm - 5:00pm

This initiation bestows the authority to meditate on Yellow Dzambhala from the collection of Bari Lotsawa. Dzambhala is one of the most important Vajrayana deities associated with the increase of prosperity and positive conditions for spiritual practice.

Refuge and the bodhisattva vow will be given to everyone during the preliminary part of the initiation.
