12/16/2025 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm

Event Series Event Series (See All)

This class will be facilitated by Lamas Depa and Lhadrun. Our primary source, Ornament of Precious Liberation, by the great master of the Kagyu lineage, Lord Gampopa, is considered a spiritual classic of Tibetan Buddhism. HH 17th Karmapa shares in his foreword to the book, that “this text has the power of a direct transmission from master to student” and that Gampopa himself promised that studying this text would be the same as receiving the teachings directly from him.

In order to develop our understanding of this profound work, we will also be referring to Path to Buddhahood, a very accessible and illuminating commentary by Ringu Tulku.

The books used will be:
Ornament of Precious Liberation, translator Ken Holmes, Wisdom Publications
Path to Buddhahood, by Ringu Tulku, Shambala

The material will be screen-shared each class, so it is not necessary to buy the books. The class is open to all levels of experience, and anyone is welcome to join at any time without attending previous sessions. There is no charge for participating.

 

These classes are being offered in person and on Zoom. If you would like to participate remotely, please use our online event registration form.

Please do not visit the monastery if you feel unwell and/or have a fever.

We urge all program participants to take precautions against the ongoing risk of COVID through protection such as having up-to-date vaccinations, wearing a good-quality mask indoors, washing hands and maintaining physical distance.

Masks and hand sanitizer will be available at all entryways.

Many thanks to all of you for your support in keeping this event as safe as possible!
