Cost: £0.00

Venue: Samye Ling

We are delighted to announce that Khenpo Lekhtong will give the complete transmission and teachings on The Ratnakuta Sutra.  And also teachings on The Ornament of Mahayana Sutras by Maitreya.

The Ratnakuta is a collection of 49 Sutras which comprises six volumes of the Tibetan Kagyur.  It is one of the most important collections of Mahayana Sutras and played a vital part in the early history of the Kagyu Lineage.  Teachings on the Ratnakuta Sutra will be given Monday to Friday.

The Ornament of Mahayana Sutras is a major work of Buddhist Philosophy presenting the Mahayana path from the Yogacarya perspective.  These teachings will be given on weekends only.

It is possible to attend both sets of teachings, and for those who are not free every day, it is also possible to attend either the weekends only or the weekdays only.  It is necessary to register for both sets of teachings and, once registered, one must commit to attend them all.

The teachings will begin on Tuesday 22nd August at 9.00am and continue daily (Monday to Friday) from 9.00am to 10.30am and from 4.00pm to 5.30pm.
Weekend teaching times are yet to be finalised.

To register and to book guest accommodation (if needed), please send an email to bookings@samyeling.org.
