THE GOLDEN LIGHT SUTRA

Sutra of Golden Light.webp

Geshe Doga advised to spend the December Study Group sessions reciting the Golden Light Sutra and, if we have time, to also discuss Lama Tsong Khapa’s ‘four keys’ technique for understanding the emptiness of self-existence.

As Lama Zopa Rinpoche explains: “The most beneficial thing to have peace and to stop the wars is recitation of the Golden Light Sutra… everyone should try to do this, no matter how busy they are, even to recite one or two pages, even a few lines. By reciting the whole text … one collects extensive merits, liberates numberless sentient beings from the oceans of suffering and brings them to enlightenment.” Lama Tsongkhapa’s four keys are:

  • Ascertain the object to be eliminated

  • Ascertain the pervasion – the self must be either one with body/mind or separate from them

  • Absence of true sameness of the self and the body/mind

  • Absence of true difference of the self and the body/mind.

 

Everyone welcome.

 

These sessions promise to be fun and illuminating!

EVERYONE IS WELCOME
