28.08. - 01.09.19 - Khenchen Konchog Rinpoche. "Gonchik"
Dear Friends! We invite everyone to attend open teachings on Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana). The teachings are presented by a recognized master of philosophy – Ven. Khenchen Konchog Rinpoche. Lectures are held in a friendly atmosphere, respecting all elements of Buddhist practice. These teachings are a great opportunity to get acquainted with Buddhist philosophy and analytical practice, and to grow stronger on this path, to reach a new level.
Teachings. Khenchen Konchog Rinpoche gives teachings on the text of Lord Jigten Sumgon “Gongchig” (“Single Intent”). This text occupies a special place in Drikung Kagyu lineage. The text belongs to the lamrim class (see more about Lamrim texts (RU, EN)). In this text, in the form of theses, are collected teachings of Buddha. “Gongchig” is usually taught after mastering more general versions of the texts of Lamrim category (“The Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment” by Je Tsongkhapa, “Jewel Ornament of Liberation” by Gampopa and etc.). Without such prior knowledge, the “Gongchik” will be difficult to understand.
You may attend a personal audience with Rinpoche. Read more... Apply by phone +371 29594435
