Lamrim Teachings

(Tibetan: "stages of the path") text represents the stages in the complete path to enlightenment as taught by Buddha Shakyamuni, originally composed by Indian pandita Atiśa's 11th Century root text A Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment (Bodhipathapradīpa).

Jonang Taranatha, in his “Essence of Ambrosia”, also known as the Jonang Lamrim, composed a simple, pithy and easily accessible model; a “how-to” guide for meditators that represent all of Buddha’s pith instructions on the three main points of the path to enlightenment.

Saka Dawa 2013

buddha Chenrezig (skt: Avalokiteśvara) practice May 26^th, 2013 Saka Dawa is the fourth Tibetan lunar month. In Kalachakra astrology, there is a cycle of twenty-eight stars, which alternately influence each day of the month. On the full moon of the fourth lunar month, the influential star is called Saka.
