Lama Lena – A Lamp To Dispel Darkness

Lama Lena will give a teaching in Dzogchen based on the text “A Lamp To Dispel Darkness” by Ju Mipham.

A lamp to dispel the darkness is a dzogchen text by the great dzogchen master Ju Mipham, who lived in the 19th en 20th century. The text offers profound instructions on the practice of Trekchö; instructions that point to the essence of our mind. These clear and uncomplicated instructions make it possible for people like you and me, living and working in the busy world of today, to practice Trekchö and to realize the nature of our mind.

Lama Lena’s visit is a unique chance to receive instructions from a Western woman who is also a lama and a holder of the Tibetan Dzogchen tradition. The style in which she teaches is clear and direct, enjoyable, down to earth, and especially skilfull for making the precious teachings of Tibet available for those with a Western education.
