MAJOR EVENT: Lama Jampa Thaye teaching in Bristol

Please note this new date: Saturday 18th October.

Lama Jampa Thaye will be teaching in Bristol at Future Inn and all are welcome to attend.

[Online booking will be available from this page later this year].

10.30 am – 1.00 pm: ‘Differentiating the Three Vows’ by Sakya Pandita (part 16)

In the morning Lama Jampa will continue to work through a 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 to attend.

2.30 – 4.30 pm: Initiation of White Sarasvati

In the afternoon Lama Jampa will give the initiation of White Sarasvati

Saraswati is famous as one of the principal wisdom deities in Vajrayana Buddhism and as a patroness of poetry and music. Thus many great masters have cultivated her meditation for the many qualities that it bestows. Lama Jampa will give the initiation of White Saraswati from the Bodong lineage.

Refuge and the bodhisattva vow will be given to everyone during the preliminary part of the initiation.

[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].
