On Saturday 13th October, to a well-attended audience, Lama Jampa Thaye continued teaching Chandrogomin’s master-work entitled ‘The Twenty Verses on the Bodhisattva Vow’, using the detailed commentary by Jetsun Drakpa Gyaltsen. He emphasised how essential it is for dharma students to develop loving kindness, compassion and the altruistic motivation of bodhicitta. This inspirational teaching will continue into next year with the next part being given on 12th January 2013.



In the afternoon Lama Jampa bestowed the initiation of Simhanada Chenrezik and at the end explained that this initiation is contained both within the collection of The Thirteen Golden Dharmas of the Sakya school and The Hundred Sadhanas of Bari Lotsawa.
