"Firmly plant the victory banner of the dharma!" - Karma Thinley Rinpoche's injunction to Lama Jampa Thaye

Teachings in Yorkshire September 2015

September 15, 2015

Lama Jampa's second visit to Yorkshire this year was a joyful mixture of formal and informal teachings. On Saturday Lama Jampa discussed the special contribution of Gampopa to the nascent Kagyu tradition, combining as he did his Kadam ‘graduated path’ inheritance with the Mahamudra transmission of his great yogic teacher, Jetsun Milarepa.  Lama Jampa then taught the first two instructions of 'The Four Dharmas of Gampopa', focussing on the Four Thoughts which turn the Mind to Dharma and the development of the Mahayana attitude. This teaching was open to all.

In the afternoon, Lama-la gave the initiation of Amitabha from the Sky Dharma of Mingyur Dorje and Karma Chagme. 

On Sunday 13th there was an opportunity to meet the Lama in a more informal setting, beginning with a brief and direct talk about overcoming negative situations and obstacles in our lives. This talk was recorded and can be found at soundcloud.com/lama-jampa-thaye. Following this there was a broad ranging question and answer session, some of which will be published at a later date.

Over the course of the weekend Lama Jampa also found time to give private interviews to new and old sangha members from the Yorkshire area.

Lama Jampa's next teaching event will be at Sakya Sechen Ling in Stuttgart - visit www.dechen-sakya.de for details.
