Guru Yoga of the 8th Karmapa Mikyo Dorje Teaching with Lama Lodro Lhamo (In Person & Online)
Karma Thegsum Choling Jacksonville warmly invites you August 10th & 11th to attend a precious opportunity on Zoom from Karma Triyana Dharmachakra Monastery President, Lama Lodro Lhamo. Lama Lodro will teach the Guru Yoga of the 8th Karmapa Mikyö Dorje. The power of this sadhana holds great blessing and purifies negativity. The Karmapa said that hearing this sadhana once leads to liberation from rebirth in the lower realms. All are welcome to attend this online teaching.
All may join on Zoom. If you attend in-person at KTC Jacksonville, we will receive the teachings from Lama Lodro on a large screen.
Mikyö Dorje was one of the most renowned of the Karmapas, a great meditation master as well as a prolific and learned scholar. Karmapa Mikyö Dorje composed the The Four-Session Guru Yoga during the 16th Century. This sadhana is a short yet powerful practice for developing the realization of devotion mahamudra. As it is one of the principal practices of the Karma Kagyu school, many monastic and lay practitioners recite this text daily.
