This last Saturday of the study season 20-21 will be a review of the teachings on the Eight Verses for Training the Mind, which Lama Jigmé Namgyal has been teaching about since September last year. These last session will be interactive, which means that Lama himself will be asking the participants questions and will give them the opportunity to share and ask questions concerning this topic as well.

Eight verses for training the mind
This short text was paid high attention by many great masters throughout history. H.H. Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche regarded this text as the principal instruction among all the Dharma teachings he imparted.

The Eight Verses for Training the Mind can bring tremendous benefits to the practice of both Sutrayana teachings and Tantrayana teachings. The first seven verses of the Eight Verses for Training the Mind deal with the practices associated with cultivating the method aspect of the path such as compassion, altruism, aspiration to attain Buddhahood. The last verse deals with the practices that are directed toward cultivating the wisdom aspect of the path. During these eight Saturdays Lama Jigmé Namgyal will give us the opportunity to gain a thorough understanding with practical instructions to apply in our daily life.

The Tibetan Buddhist center Phuntsok Chö Ling is organizing a Chöd Summer study week in Rotterdam. It is also possible to participate online but only for students who have previously practiced Chöd with Lama Jigmé.

Deep teachings on Dudjom Lingpa’s Chöd

Study Week Summer 2021
Friday 6 – Sunday 15 August

After a period in which traveling was prohibited, we are delighted to welcome Lama Jigmé Namgyal back to our centre in Rotterdam.

During ten days Lama Jigmé will be teaching about the practice of Chöd. Chöd is a Tibetan word that literally translates into ‘cutting through’. It is practiced as a skillful means to cut through obstacles like our own disruptive emotions, also referred to as inner enemies. These ten days will allow you to gain self-experience and in thorough understanding of the teachings.

Lama Jigmé teaches from a very short and unbroken, authentic lineage. These teachings encompass the essence of the Mahayana and Sutrayana teachings and can give the practitioner direct insight and experience of the understanding of both the relative and ultimate truth as explained in the Buddha’s Heart Sutra (Prajnaparamita) which states that Form is emptiness. Emptiness is form. Form is not other than emptiness and emptiness is not other than form.

The study week can be followed by anyone who has previously received the teachings on Chöd from Lama Jigmé or by anyone who has sufficient knowledge of the basic principles of Buddhism. When in doubt, please contact us.

Because Chöd is a very profound and powerful practice, it is therefore not suitable for people with mental challenges or people who are emotionally unstable. Please act responsible.
