Lama Jampa visited the Bodhipath Centre in Renchen Ulm from 14.2. to 16.2.25. There he gave teachings on Karmapa Rangjung Droje Shastra "Distinguishing Consciousness and Primordial Wisdom" for the 5th time. He referred to Karma Thinley Rinpoche's commentary on the text. After an intensive explanation of the view of Buddha nature, Lama Jampa began to teach the second part of the text, explanations of ultimate wisdom. Here he began to explain how, on the Buddhist path, the 8 impure samsaric states of consciousness presented earlier can be transformed into aspects of ultimate wisdom.
Through Lama Jampa's clear and precise teaching, the participants present and online were able to experience and internalise a little more of these profound teachings. This led to great gratitude and joy from the whole Bodhipath centre. Everyone is already looking forward to Lama Jampa's next visit in autumn 2025.
After the teachings in Renchen-Ulm, Lama Jampa went to Sakya Dechen LIng, Stuttgart and gave a public talk entitled Wisdom in Exile: Buddhism in the West Today. Lama Jampa Thaye presented insights from his book "Wisdom in Exile" and talked about the challenges and opportunities of Buddhism in the West, especially with regard to cultural exchange and authentic practice.
The public talk was simultaneously translated into German and is available on Sakya Dechen LIng`s youtube channel here.
On Monday evening Lama Jampa Thaye gave the initiation into the meditation deity "Red Sarasvati". The practise of the sadhana of this female yidam leads to the attainment of wisdom.
