Dongsung Shabdrung Rinpoche – Introduction Middle Way and Dorje Sempa Initiation
26/04 20:00 - 28/04 16:00
Finally in person again:
With this course Dongsang Shabdrung Rinpoche continues his longterm cycle of teachings about the ‚Introduction to the Middle Way’ of the great Indian master Chandrakirti. Although this is a very profound text about the buddhist term ’emptiness’, which is not easy to comprehend without instructions, Shabdrung Rinpoche explains it in a way that gives us access in the best way. Understanding this very important buddhist topic is essential for our progress on the path. While our understanding deepens, slowly our inner confusions can be clarified. Attending this course is also possible without having attended the former courses.
The 4th Dongsang Shabdrung Rinpoche, known for his vast knowledge, was recognized as an emanation of Sangye Yeshe (832 – 902), one of the 25 heart disciples of Padmasambhava (Guru Rinpoche). He belongs to the lineage of the Sakyapa, but he has also received transmissions from some of the most important masters of different schools, such as Thaye Dorje, H.H. the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa. Rinpoche is the main teacher in the Dongtsang monastery in China. His teachings impress and inspire due to his special clarity and joyful appearance.
We are especially looking forward to Shabdrung Rinpoche giving an INITATION on DORJE SEMPA (Vajrasattva) in addition to the above teachings, on Sunday morning. This is a wonderful basis for the recitation of the corresponding mantra recommended by Gyalwa Karmapa.
EXTRA: As this year marks the tenth anniversary of Shamar Rinpoche entering Parinirvana here, Shabdrung Rinpoche will also give a talk about Shamar Rinpoche and his activity on Sunday afternoon at 15.00h.
