Lama Tsongkhapa Day 12 december,2017

Från Thubten Chodron: "Lama Tsongkhapa (1357-1419) was one of Tibetan Buddhism's greatest scholars and yogis. His brilliant illumination of Buddha's teachings shines through to this day in his Lamrim Chenmo—The Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment—and other profound texts. His spiritual heirs include His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Traditionally, Lama Tsongkhapa Day is celebrated with many light offerings. To celebrate, you can read or listen to Ven. Chodron's talk on Tsongkhapa's great kindness and her personal experiences of visiting his meditation cave in Tibet. More practices to celebrate Lama Tsongkhapa Day and create merit are suggested below. May the light of Lama Tsongkhapa's teachings, dispelling the darkness of ignorance, always increase!" "How to celebrate Lama Tsongkhapa Day and create merit Come to the Abbey for Sharing the Dharma Day on December 12, and stay for the Lama Tsongkhapa celebration which will include a candle light vigil for victims of gun violence.
