Rain of Clarity teaching Part 5 LONDON
10.30am – 1.00pm
This course will be given in 5 parts between our Centres in London and Bristol on the following dates: Bristol February 6th, London March 12th, Bristol June 18th, Bristol October 1st, London November 5th.
Based on the authority of the enlightened Sakya masters such as Sonam Tsemo, Sakya Pandita and Gorampa, as well as the classical Indian shastras, ‘Rain of Clarity’ composed by Lama Jampa Thaye, explains the stages of the path to enlightenment through the particular understanding of the Sakya tradition. The text itself is one of the first English language treatises written with all the qualities of a traditional shastra, and it also addresses contemporary issues facing modern Western practitioners of Buddhadharma. Composed with outstanding lucidity in accordance with its title, Lama Jampa Thaye has provided us with an authoritative and comprehensive guide to all aspects of the dharma path according to the glorious Sakya tradition.
This teaching is open to all those with an interest in Buddhism.
