MAJOR EVENT: Lama Jampa Thaye teaching in London

10.30am – 1.00pm: Discriminating the Three Vows by Sakya Pandita. Part 6 (open to all)

The London venue for this teaching is to be confirmed.

Lama Jampa is giving a series of teachings that will transmit Sakya Pandita’s extensive presentation of the Buddhist path. This is a rare opportunity to receive one of the main texts taught in the Sakya Shedra (College of Studies).

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.

Online booking will be available a few weeks before the event via the Dechen London website.
