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 Shakyamuni Buddha and the Sixteen Sthaviras

Lama Jampa Thaye will bestow the initiation of the Sixteen Sthaviras (Arhats), the great disciples entrusted by Buddha Shakyamuni with preserving and protecting his teachings in the world. This rare empowerment comes from the lineage of Atisha and is closely connected with the traditional Sixteen Sthaviras puja practised on the four major Buddhist holy days.

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