Join us for a rare and illuminating teaching by Lama Jampa Thaye on Reply to Nyimo Gomchen, a classical text by Sakya Pandita, one of the greatest scholar-practitioners in the history of Tibetan Buddhism.
This teaching presents a series of profound questions put to Sakya Pandita by Nyimo Gomchen, a practitioner seeking clarity on the essence of Dharma and the stages of the path. In his replies, Sakya Pandita offers crystal-clear definitions of what Dharma truly is, and how we can walk the path in a balanced, effective way. He dispels confusion surrounding important topics such as the role of the spiritual teacher (lama) and the meaning of emptiness, and emphasizes the importance of integrating study and meditation—rather than relying on either in isolation.
Though composed in the 13th century, this dialogue feels remarkably relevant today, as it addresses many of the doubts, misunderstandings, and imbalances that can arise for modern practitioners.
This event is ideal for both new and seasoned students who wish to deepen their understanding of the foundations of Buddhist practice, and to connect with the penetrating wisdom of one of the greatest minds of the Sakya lineage.
We warmly welcome you to join us for this special teaching.
