Together on the Path
Lam Rim course based on the text “Liberation in the Palm of Your Hand” of Paponka Rinpoche
Saturday 10.30- 13.00
Sunday 11.00am – 1.00 pm and 3.30 pm – 5.00 pm
The Lam Rim, translated as “Gradual Path,” is a fundamental teaching of Tibetan Buddhism that guides practitioners through a systematic journey toward enlightenment. Based on the teachings of the Buddha, the Lam Rim was first structured by the Indian master Atisha and later expanded by Je Tsong Khapa, who wrote the “Lam Rim Chen Mo,” a detailed work that explores the stages of the path in relation to three types of practitioners: those of lower, medium, and higher capacities.
In Pabonka Rinpoche’s book “Liberation in the Palm of Your Hand,” the Lam Rim is presented as a practical method for developing the mind and addressing inner afflictions. Rinpoche emphasizes the importance of renunciation, bodhicitta (the altruistic intention to attain enlightenment for the benefit of others), and the understanding of emptiness. These elements are essential for progressing on the spiritual path and realizing the true nature of reality.
The Lam Rim is not merely a series of instructions; it is an invitation to deeply reflect on one’s life and motivations. Through the practice of suggested meditations, practitioners can develop a clear vision of their spiritual aspirations and learn to navigate daily challenges with greater awareness and compassion. In this way, the Lam Rim serves as a valuable guide for anyone wishing to embark on a journey of personal and spiritual growth.
The Dharma is precious and has no price. Therefore, in accordance with tradition, an offering can be made for this activity according to each person’s possibilities and choice.

On the occasion of the anniversary of Drubwang Gangchen Rinpoche’s birth, four days dedicated to the celebration of his extraordinary life, a life entirely dedicated to caring for beings and teaching the message of peace of the ‘inner scientist Buddha Shakyamuni’ as he liked to call the Buddha.
The programme includes traditional ceremonies with Tibetan monks, offering in front of the stupa, and meditations on the various NgalSo Tantric Self-Healing practices, transmitted by Lama Gangchen as paths of relaxation, healing of body and mind and as a path to enlightenment.
And then, songs in his homage, dances and much merriment, in accordance with the value that Lama Gangchen Rinpoche always gave to the arts, and to joy, as instruments for the practice of the Dharma.
The programme is especially dedicated to his swift return among us.

The practice of NgalSo Self-Healing transmitted by Lama Gangchen Rinpoche is a method to relax and heal the body, speech and mind as well as a complete spiritual path to achieve the fully peaceful state of a buddha. This method works on the energy chnnels and five main chakras of our subtle body and aims to transform our mental defilements such as ignorance, attachment, anger, pride and fear into the positive qualities of wisdom, concentration, compassion, generosity and rejoicing. This integrated therapy system helps us to heal from the deep causes of our mental and physical suffering through the use of: meditation, concentration, visualisation, breathing, recitation, sacred gestures (mudras), colour, prayer and so on.
The detailed program will be published shortly.

11:00 AM – 1:00 PM Second session
3:00 PM – 5:00 PM Third session
Yoga is the science of self-realization, a path to self-care and the body-mind, to utilize natural energies to elevate one’s spirit and connect with the divine within.
The 5 elements—earth, water, fire, wind, and space—and the 5 vayus (commonly called pranas)—or life forces—are the foundation for this path. Each of the elements and vayus/pranas has a specific function and location in the body.
Over the course of the week, we will learn to utilize these energies for our personal and collective yogic journey. Each day will be dedicated to a specific element and prana:
Day One: Earth Element – Prana Vayu (chest and head)
Day Two: Water Element – Udana Vayu (throat and head)
Day Three: Fire Element – Samana Vayu (navel)
Day Four: Wind Element – Apana Vayu (lower abdomen)
Day Five: Space Element – Vyana Vayu (widespread throughout the body)
We will learn to balance the 5 elements and the 5 vayus/pranas through asanas, Ayurveda, pranayama, meditation, mantra chanting, and lifestyle planning. Finally, on Day Six, we will discover how to cook to restore balance to the body-mind through appropriate nutrition. Each session will be held in an environment suited to the specific element and vayu/prana.
Functions of the vayus/pranas
Prana: controls breathing and energy absorption.
Apana: governs elimination and downward-moving energy.
Samana: regulates digestion and assimilation.
Udana: controls speech, self-expression, and ascending energy.
Vyana: manages the circulation and distribution of energy throughout the body.
Bring comfortable clothing, a light blanket, a yoga mat, a water bottle, and shoes for outdoor excursions.
Participation can be for the day or for the entire workshop. Reservations are required at reception: reception@kunpen.it

Together on the Path
Lam Rim course based on the text “Liberation in the Palm of Your Hand” of Paponka Rinpoche
Saturday 10.30- 13.00
Sunday 10.30am – 1.00 pm and 3.30 pm – 5.00 pm
The Lam Rim, translated as “Gradual Path,” is a fundamental teaching of Tibetan Buddhism that guides practitioners through a systematic journey toward enlightenment. Based on the teachings of the Buddha, the Lam Rim was first structured by the Indian master Atisha and later expanded by Je Tsong Khapa, who wrote the “Lam Rim Chen Mo,” a detailed work that explores the stages of the path in relation to three types of practitioners: those of lower, medium, and higher capacities.
In Pabonka Rinpoche’s book “Liberation in the Palm of Your Hand,” the Lam Rim is presented as a practical method for developing the mind and addressing inner afflictions. Rinpoche emphasizes the importance of renunciation, bodhicitta (the altruistic intention to attain enlightenment for the benefit of others), and the understanding of emptiness. These elements are essential for progressing on the spiritual path and realizing the true nature of reality.
The Lam Rim is not merely a series of instructions; it is an invitation to deeply reflect on one’s life and motivations. Through the practice of suggested meditations, practitioners can develop a clear vision of their spiritual aspirations and learn to navigate daily challenges with greater awareness and compassion. In this way, the Lam Rim serves as a valuable guide for anyone wishing to embark on a journey of personal and spiritual growth.
