Mahayana Buddhist Vows and Introduction to Nyungne Practice (DC Metro Center)

Mahayana practitioners who have taken Refuge and the Bodhisattva Vow may wonder how best to practice Buddhism and make progress along the path.  With that interest in mind, Shenyen Lama Jampa will be at the DC Metro Bodhi Path Center on Saturday, Sept 20^th and will provide an introduction to the Five Upāsaka/Upāsikā Precepts, the Mahayana Sojong Vow and an overview of the Nyungne Fasting practice.

Interested participants may join the session in person or online and we will also have an online translator assist Lama Jampa with his translation.

About the teacher

Shenyen Lama Jampa is often in residence in Menlo Park, California. With Shamar Rinpoche’s confidence and blessing, he has assisted centers and students worldwide, sharing his deep knowledge of Buddhist rituals, offering vows, and helping to prepare reliquaries, stupas and statues.

Lama Jampa completed a traditional 3-year retreat in Tibet at the Yangpochen Monastery in 1994.  At the request of the 14th Shamarpa, he has since taught in Asia, Europe, North America, and Latin America.

Lama Jampa ist bescheiden, sanftmütig und immer bereit, allen, die er trifft, bei ihren dharmischen Bedürfnissen zu helfen.
