The Unassailable Lion's Roar - Jamgon Kongtrul's commentary on the Supreme Continuity

Saturday 8 February, 10.30am - 12.30pm and 2.30-4.30pm

Sunday 9 February, 10.30am - 12.30pm

The Supreme Continuity (Gyud Lama) revealed by the bodhisattva Maitreya to the Indian master Asanga is one of the foundational texts of Kagyu Philosophy. It is a profound introduction to the buddha-nature which pervades all sentient beings as the true nature of our minds.

In this course Lama Jampa Thaye will elucidate Maitreya’s text through the celebrated commentary ‘The Unassailable Lion’s Roar’ composed by Jamgon Lodro Thaye. It thus marks one of the rare occasions on which this text has been taught in the West.

Initiation of White Manjusri

Sunday 9 February, 2.30-4.30pm

The weekend teaching will conclude with the initiation of White Manjusri, the embodiment of the Wisdom of all the Buddhas, from the lineage of Tropha Lotsawa.
