Lama Jampa taught this April at beautiful and sunny Dhagpo Kundreul Ling, Le Bost, France. For a week, he taught to a robust congregation of monastic and lay practitioners from the Karma Kagyu tradition. During the first four days Lama Jampa concluded teaching the third and final part of the text by the twelfth century Sakya master Sonam Tsemo Explanations of the Four Tantra Sets.
To enhance the understanding of Vajrayana practice, upon concluding The Four Tantra Sets, Lama Jampa started teaching the Fifty Verses on the Guru by the Medieval Tantric Indian master Bhavideva with its commentary by Tsarchen Losal Gyamtso, which explains the significance of the relationship between the practitioner of the uncommon Mahayana path and the vajra master.
The conclusion of the teaching of this important text will occur next year, together with the explanation of the Fourteen Root Downfalls, the transgressions to the Vajrayana vows and pledges.
With these three important texts lay and monastic Buddhists will be better equipped and more confident to undertake Vajrayana practice. It has been a very joyous occasion!
