Khenpo Samdup leads Lama Chopa, Jigten Sumgon Guru Yoga, is a profound and powerful means of cultivating our inner wisdom and compassion through the blessings of our spiritual teachers.
Khenpo Samdup shares short instructions th
at Buddha gave his disciples while in Shravasti, India and will continue his explanation of how to use traditional techniques of Vipassana, analysis and investigation to come to understand and directly experience the fundamental nature of mind and phenomena.
After attaining enlightenment, Buddha went to Shravasti and gave teachings throughout 25 summer rain retreats. Khenpo Samdup will continue his teachings on the short instructions that Buddha gave his disciples while in Shravasti, India.
Khenpo Samdup was traveling to Rajgir (Vulture Peak) in India, where Buddha turned the second wheel of dharma offering The Heart Sutra and other Prajnaparamita teachings. In the Heart Sutra, through the words of the Buddha of Compassion, Avalokiteshvara (Tib: Chenrezig), we are introduced to a description of the nature of reality that cuts through our usual conceptual framework. Ultimately, it is a roadmap to realizing the wisdom aspect of enlightenment, frequently described as the union of wisdom and compassion—and embodied by Avalokiteshvara.
