Date	17/08/2025 - 29/08/2025
Time	All Day
Address	Fonvidal, St Cirq, Le Bugue, 24260, France
Description	Sakya Changlochen Ling – Summer Course 2025 Sunday 17th August to Friday 29th August Lama Jampa Thaye will teach Śāntideva’s classic, the Bodhicaryāvatāra or ‘Entering the Bodhisattva Conduct’ with the commentary composed by Sonam Tsemo. The 8th century Indian master Śāntideva’s classic guide to the Buddhist path, the Bodhicaryāvatāra or ‘Entering the Bodhisattva Conduct’, is to this day one of the most popular and important works of the Mahayana Buddhist tradition. The detailed commentary was composed by Sonam Tsemo (1142-1182), one of the most celebrated masters of the Sakya school in Tibet. The commentary shines a brilliant light on Śāntideva’s great work, clarifying every detail and resolving every difficult point. Copies of the text will be available to purchase and you can read more about it here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bodhicaryavatara-Commentary-Acarya-Santideva/dp/1733556028 During the course Lama Jampa will also bestow the initiations of Chenrezik Mahamudra, Manjusri Arapatsana and Amitayus. Refuge and the bodhisattva vow will be given to everyone during the preliminary part of each initiation. Facility Fee for the course: £250 for both weeks (or £21 per day for those unable to attend the whole course) Concessions available on request to changlochen@dechen.org.
