| Description |
Lama Jampa Thaye will be teaching in Bristol on Saturday 7th June 2025 at Future Inn and all are welcome to attend. 10.30 am – 1.00 pm: ‘Differentiating the Three Vows’ by Sakya Pandita (part 14)In the morning Lama Jampa will continue to work through a long text called “Distinguishing the Three Vows” (“Dom Sum” in Tibetan). 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. This is the first time Lama Jampa has taught this text in the UK. It is not necessary to have attended the earlier parts because there can still be great benefit from hearing Lama Jampa give a dharma teaching.
2.30 – 4.30 pm: Initiation of Gönkar (White Mahakala)In the afternoon Lama Jampa will give the initiation of Gönkar. Gonpo Yizhin Norbu (Gonkar) is the wealth and protection bestowing emanation of Chenrezik. His practice was originally transmitted in the Shangpa Kagyu lineage and later preserved in the Sakya tradition where it is relied upon by many meditators. Refuge and the bodhisattva vow will be given to everyone during the preliminary part of the intitiation.
[Please note that as many people from the Bristol Centre will be going to this teaching, there will be no Saturday morning meditation class on this date].
