Dispelling the Darkness of Suffering - November 2026

Teaching by Lama Jampa Thaye
Yorkshire Teaching Visit

Saturday 28th November 2026 10.30 am – 4.30 pm

This is the third teaching based on Dispelling the Darkness of Suffering, composed by Karma Thinley Rinpoche. This text is a clear and authoritative, line by line commentary upon The Seven Points of Mind Training written by Geshe Chekhawa.

This classic twelfth century text on lojong (‘mind training’) is in the form of pith instructions that show the methods to transform everyday life into the path to enlightenment, by developing bodhichitta (‘enlightenment-mind’, the resolve to attain buddhahood for the benefit of others) on the basis of loving-kindness and compassion.

Rinpoche brilliantly illuminates these pith instructions, enabling us to apply them to whatever situations we encounter.

Dispelling the Darkness of Suffering by Karma Thinley Rinpoche is available to purchase on the day or pre-order by contacting bobbi.jefferson@dechen.org
