Karma Thegsum Choling Jacksonville is honored to welcome Lama Karma Drodhul October 9th-11th to teach the Four Dharmas of Gampopa & give the Green Tara Empowerment. Lama Karma is a resident teacher visiting from our parent monastery, Karma Triyana Dharmachakra. The Friday night public talk and weekend teaching will be offered in-person and Zoom.
The Four Dharmas of Gampopa summarize the whole path to spiritual awakening, and provide a clear guide for us to follow.
May my mind follow the dharma
May the dharma become a path
May the path be cleared of confusion
May confusion dawn as wisdom
The Four Dharmas of Gampopa summarize the entire Buddhist path. From the first glimmering of interest in enlightenment to final Buddhahood itself, these four teachings have guided countless beings to spiritual goodness and awakening.
Written in the 12th Century by the dharma master Gampopa, they are a road map to removing obstacles from our path and coming to know the nature of our own minds.
