Student Pathways Presentation
March 30 @ 6:15 pm – 8:00 pm +0545
Samye Institute is pleased to announce Phakchok Rinpoche’s upcoming teaching on March 30th at 6:15 pm Nepal time (find your local time here) on the topic of the student pathways, which will be available for study on Samye Institute.
After nearly 15 years of observation of students’ questions and development, Phakchok Rinpoche has defined these student pathways to assist those who wish to cultivate their innate potential as human beings and as Buddhist practitioners. The pathways, containing courses, individual teachings, and support material, will be accessible via Samye Institute.
1. The Path of Dignity
The Path of Dignity focuses on self-discovery, exploring one’s path, and understanding one’s character. It aims to awaken dignity, wisdom, and compassion, encouraging students to cultivate kindness towards themselves and others.
2. The Path of Transformation
The Path of Transformation emphasizes the transformation of feelings, emotions, and thoughts through a comprehensive two-year meditation course and training in loving-kindness and compassion. Students will gain familiarity with various meditation techniques and nurture bodhicitta, striving to diminish negative emotions and bolster positive qualities.
3. The Path of Realization
The Path of Realization follows the traditional Vajrayana journey, inviting students to take refuge and receive empowerment. At its core is Guru Padmasambhava’s “Gradual Path of the Wisdom Essence” (Lamrim Yeshe Nyingpo), focusing on compassion (lamrim), pure perception (yeshe), and recognition (nyingpo). This path offers a rich array of Vajrayana methods designed to unveil our true nature and foster enlightenment. The student progresses in stages through this pathway, beginning with the four foundations, or ngöndro practices.
In the forthcoming Zoom teaching, Phakchok Rinpoche will introduce these pathways, highlighting the key elements relevant to the spiritually curious and to both new and seasoned practitioners
The teachings will be translated into the following languages: Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, Vietnamese, Thai, Indonesian, Ukrainian, and Nepali.
