Session times: 10.00am-1.00pm and 2.30-5.30pm. “A Garland of Jewels” by Chogyal Phakpa – Part 5This celebrated text by Chogyal Phagpa was composed as a manual of instructions for the 13th century Mongol Prince Gibek Timur. In 204 verses it covers the entire Buddhist path, from the level of a beginner to that of full enlightenment. The first part of the teaching provides guidance for a good life; the second part outlines the path for liberation and the final major section describes the distinctive features of the Mahayana path. The text is beautifully written which makes it especially accessible. This is the fifth teaching session of the text given by Lama Jampa, though it is not essential to have attended the earlier sessions to attend. The initiation of Red Tara
