Martsang Kagyu Lama Chopa & Charity event

Lama Chopa is a practice of guru devotion special to the Martsang Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. In Sanskrit, lama is guru, and chopa is offering, so Lama Chopa translates into English as “offering to the spiritual guide.”

This special Lama Chopa practice dedicated to Choje Marpa Sherab Yeshe (1134-1203) the founder of the Martsang Kagyu School, was originally compiled by Drogon Richen and has subsequently been reedited by His Holiness Gangri Karma Rinpoche.

Martsang Dechen Nyru class

The Martsang Dechen Nyru translates as ‘essential teachings on the swift path to great bliss’. Its nectar blessings and teachings form the quintessential meditational practice stages, that follow on from having developed a solid foundation from hearing, studying and contemplating the Martsang Lam Rim.

The practices are a bridge between Sutra and Vajrayana practice and so introduce the concept of deity practice and the importance of relying on the master, both of which are necessary requirements to study and practice the Martsang Mahamudra.
