| Description |
Lama Jampa Thaye will be teaching in Bristol at Future Inn on Saturday 6th June 2026 and all are welcome to attend. 10.30 am – 1.00 pm: Lojong in a Single Session by Chim Namkha DrakThis text was composed in the thirteenth century by Chim Namkha Drak, the great abbot of the Kadampa monastery of Narthang in Tibet. It comes from the mind training (Lojong) collection of teachings of which there are two main streams. Inspired by Atisha, this stream encapsulates the essential steps of the Mahayana, presenting them in a way that we can apply directly to our own personal situation – like all Lojong teachings. In fact, the only qualification we need to practise the teaching is, as Lama Jampa Thaye has said ‘our ordinary, confused mind, full of disturbing emotions, full of self-clinging and self-cherishing. With an unparalleled directness, they allow us to transform all situations, positive and negative, into the path of awakening. The morning session is open to all. 2.30 – 4.30 pm: Initiation of Chenrezik SimhanadaSimhanada 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. The afternoon session is open to anyone interested in following the Buddhist path: refuge and the bodhisattva vow will be given to everyone during the preliminary part. If you have any questions about this event please email the Administration Team at the Dechen Sakya Buddhist Centre in Bristol: bristol@dechen.org [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].
