The gradual path (Lam Rim) on the way to enlightment

In both the Karma Kagyu and Gelug lineage traditions, great emphasis is placed on a gradual approach to Buddhist practice. Shamar Rinpoche emphasized the importance of a gradual approach especially in his Bodhi Path Curriculum.

Trehor Lama and the monk Cesare Milani will base their explanations on fundamental texts from both lineages of Tibetan Buddhism, such as Gampopa’s ‘Jewel Ornament of Liberation’ and the text ‘Lam Rim – the gradual path towards enlightenment’ by Lama Tzong Kapa.

The weekend will be enriching for practitioners of both lineages and will help us to connect with the advice on a gradual approach to Buddhist practice dating back to the great scholar Atisha (982-1054 CE).

On Friday morning it is possible to participate in a Sang Puja. We will end the weekend on Sunday afternoon with a Milarepa Tsog Puja.
