The Four Dharmas of Gampopa – Introductory Teachings

Led by: Lama Rinchen

Seminar begins on Saturday at 10:30 a.m. and ends on Sunday at 5:00 p.m.

In this short text, written in the form of a prayer, the Unsurpassed Gampopa included both all the essential teachings presenting the gradual path to Awakening, as well as Mahamudra instructions that directly point the ultimate nature of the mind. In the Kagyu tradition, this is one of the prayers most frequently used both for study and for personal practice.

During this weekend, very practical instructions will be presented on how to create the appropriate conditions for actually applying the teachings of Mahamudra, and how to integrate the Mahamudra view with our daily meditation and everyday life.

These teachings will be useful both for those who are just planning to engage in practice within the Karma Kagyu tradition, as well as for more experienced practitioners.
