Friday 20 September, 7:00 - 9:00 pm
Saturday 21 September, 10:30 am - 12:30 am and 3:00 - 5:00 pm
Lama Jampa will continue with his teaching of Discriminating the Three Vows. Sakya Pandita’s masterpiece offers a brilliant examination of the spiritual disciplines found in the three vehicles. Topics dealt with in this work include the reality of the Buddha nature, the ethics of a bodhisattva and the correct practice of vajrayana.
Initiation of Simhanada-Lokeshvara (Chenrezik Lion’s Roar)*
Sunday 22 September, 10.30am - 12.30pm
Simhanada is a form of Chenrezik, the embodiment of the enlightened compassion of all the Buddhas and is particularly associated with the removal of sickness and disease. This initiation is contained both within the collection of The Thirteen Golden Dharmas of the Sakya school and The Hundred Sadhanas of Bari Lotsawa. Lama Jampa received the former lineage from His Holiness Sakya Trizin, and the latter from Karma Thinley Rinpoche.
Refuge and the bodhisattva vow will be given to everyone during the preliminary part of the initiation.
