The Unassailable Lion's Roar - Jamgon Kongtrul's commentary on the Supreme Continuity

The Supreme Continuity (Gyud Lama) revealed by the bodhisattva Maitreya to the Indian master Asanga is one of the foundational texts of Kagyu Philosophy. It is a profound introduction to the buddha-nature which pervades all sentient beings as the true nature of our minds.

In this course Lama Jampa Thaye will elucidate Maitreya’s text through the celebrated commentary ‘The Unassailable Lion’s Roar’ composed by Jamgon Lodro Thaye. It thus marks one of the rare occasions on which this text has been taught in the West.

Initiation of Marichi (Ozer Chenma)

In Vajrayana the deity Marichi (Ozer Chenma ) is a very powerful protective goddess guarding the practitioner from harms caused by obstructive and negative forces. Symbolically she is regarded as the goddess of dawn, signifying the illumination that she bestows. This particular initiation is drawn from the collection known as The One Hundred Initiations of Bari Lotsawa.

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