The mystery of Padmasambhava the Archetypal Guru
“There is in India, there is at Nalanda, a great teacher, who is not only well versed in Buddhist philosophy, not only well versed in Buddhist meditation, but a master of the occult arts and the occult sciences. He will tame the gods and demons of Tibet.”
Who is Padmasambava and what is his significance for us today in Triratna?
What are the gods and demons and what have they got to do with the Dharma?
There will be meditation and a talk in the morning. After lunch there will be a Drama of the building of Samye Monastery. Finishing with a special Padmasambhava Puja.
Led by Sthirabandhu and Shuddhakirti.
Please bring veggie/vegan food to share for lunch
