Milarepa – His Life and Practice

The highly realised yogi Milarepa (1052–1135) is one of the most important forefathers of the Karma Kagyu tradition, and is regarded by practitioners of all Tibetan Buddhist schools as a significant source of inspiration on the path. Jetsun Milarepa’s inspiring life story and his Vajra songs, which are an expression of his realisation, can support and motivate us on our path. They will be the main focus of this weekend, which we will conclude on Sunday with a Milarepa Tsog Puja.

Over the course of this weekend, we will explore the life and teachings of Milarepa from the perspectives of both the Karma Kagyu and Gelug traditions.

On Friday morning it is possible to participate in a Sang Puja (circa 11 am)

Start: Friday, 28 May, at 2 p.m.

End:  Sunday, 30 May, at 4 p.m.

Course leadership:  Trehor Lama from the Karmapa Institut in Valderoure and Cesare Milani (Tenzin Khentse) from Milan

Course language: Tibetan and Italian, if requested in advance English translation
