Ganden Lha Gyema: The Guru Yoga of Lama Tsong Khapa

This is a special Guru Yoga with which we can receive the blessings of Lama Tsong Khapa the founder of the “Ganden Nyenghiu lineage”. From this practice come innumerable benefits such as increased compassion, intelligence, mental and emotional stability, and spiritual protection.

The three principal aspects of the path

This text, transmitted directly by Manjushri to Lama Tsong Khapa, one of the greatest masters of Tibet, is a compendium of verses of Buddhist teachings and is one of the most revered and well known texts of the gelugpa school. During the course the most important points of the Buddhist path will be explained in detail, so that we can get a clear understanding of the philosophy of life as taught by Buddha Shakyamuni.

The course will integrate the theory with practical meditation, so as to enrich the way we live our daily life, thus making our lives a path to enlightenment. With this precious and revered text, Lama Tsong Khapa, leads us on the path that Buddha revealed. These teachings are a collection of the essence of all teachings of the Dharma. Any meditation practice that does not contain these three aspects of the path, will not lead us to enlightenment. It is therefore an extremely important teaching for anyone who wants to practice Buddhism in a sincere way and achieve concrete results. The explanation of the root text by Lama Tsong Khapa will be given according to the commentary written by the great master Kiabje Nyingpo Phabongka.
