The easy path - Haarlem - 2014

OVERVIEW 

Composed by the 1st Panchen Lama Lobsang Chökyi Gyältsen (1570-1662), The Easy Path is one of the eight great Lamrims of Tibet. It condenses the entire spiritual path in the form of instructions directly intended for meditation. By applying them, many practitioners have obtained the highest realizations. Rinpoche illuminates this fundamental work in this extraordinary commentary, begun in 2014 at the request of Kadam Chöling Holland.

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THESE TEACHINGS?

During these two days of teaching, Rinpoche gives an in-depth explanation of the first stages of the graded path to enlightenment, and in particular the way to rely on spiritual teachers - a subject that is often misunderstood in the West:

1. 1. Introducing The Easy Path
   2. Combining analytical meditation and concentration meditation
   3. How to rely on one's teachers, the root of the path
   4. Two states of mind that equally important but different from each other: faith and veneration
   5. What are blessings
   6. The six preliminary practices
   7. Our precious human life 

To assist study and practice we are also providing an exceptional translation of the precious root text of The Easy Path.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN? 

Following the spiritual master in thought and action is central to Mahāyāna Buddhism, and even more so to Vajrayāna practice. This teaching is a rare opportunity to better understand this fundamental subject, from authentic sources that are the fruit of more than two millennia of practice in India and Tibet.
