De stegvisa lärorna, också kända som lam-rim, tillhandahåller en struktur inom vilken alla Buddhas sutraläror får plats, från start till slut. Lam-rim visar tydligt hur alla läror hör ihop och är menad som en personlig instruktion för vår egna spirituella utveckling.

Kursen Lamrin: den stegvisa vägen till upplysning är för dem som har studerat Discovering Buddshism eller andra program inom tibetansk Buddhism och som vill göra en genomgång av lam-rim och fokusera på meditation och reflektion.

Den första timmen består av en föreläsning, följt av diskussion och avslutningsvis minst en halvtimmes meditation tillsammans över ett specifikt ämne inom lam-rim.

Kursens struktur baseras på häftet “Kopan Monastery lam-rim outline” som sammansatts av Venerable Karin Valham. Det finns tillgängligt i vår bokshop.

Texten är indelad i förberedande övningar och övningar av de s.k. small, medium och great scope av lam-rim. Övningarna inom varje scope är vidare indelade i flera ämnen som ska studeras och mediteras över. Eftersom en djupgående förståelse av alla ämnen inom de tre scopen är väsentlig för spirituell framgång, kommer Venerable Michael också att använda andra källor för lam-rimläror för att komplettera detta häfte.

Medium scope:

De fyra ädla sanningarna
Sanningen om lidandet
Den verkliga orsaken till lidande
Tolv länkar av samberoende uppkomst

Great scope

Jämnmod
Att generera Bodhicitta: det fullständigt öppna hjärtat

——————ENGLISH——————

The graded stage teachings, also known as the lam-rim, provide a structure into which we can fit all of Buddha’s sutra teachings, from start to finish. The lam-rim clearly shows how all the teachings fit together and is intended as a personal instruction for our own spiritual development.

Lamrim: the graduated path to enlightenment course is for those who have studied Discovering Buddhism or other study programs within Tibetan Buddhism and would like to do a review of lam-rim and focus on meditation and reflection.

There will be teachings during the first hour, followed by some time for discussion, and at least half an hour for doing meditation practice together on the specific lam-rim topic.

The course structure will be based on the booklet “Kopan Monastery lam-rim outline” compiled by Venerable Karin Valham. They are available in our book shop.

The text is divided into preliminary practices and the training of the small, medium and great scopes of the lam-rim. The specific training of each scope is further divided into various topics which are to be studied and meditated on. As an in-depth understanding on each of the topics of the three scopes is essential for one’s spiritual progress, Venerable Michael will also be using other sources of lam-rim teachings to compliment the simple outline and meditations of this booklet.

Medium scope:

The four noble truths
True suffering
True cause of suffering
Twelve branches of dependent arising

Great scope

Equanimity
Generating Bodhicitta; the totally open heart
The six perfections
Samatha: Calm abiding meditation
Emptiness

——————ENGLISH——————

This day is an opportunity for those who have received basic teachings on the Lamrim (graduated path to enlightenment) to dedicate further time in doing some of the actual practices in a supported group.

The day will begin with preliminary practices, which is a means to accumulate merit and purify negative karmas, followed by focused and analytical meditations on the topics of Lamrim. Doing such practices can be very rewarding as a way to strengthen and further develop one’s spiritual path, while learning the skills to enhance the quality of one’s daily practices at home. It also serves as a preparation for those who may wish to do longer retreats in the future.

Information om evenemang

Nyung-nä (or “abiding in the fast”) is one of the favorite practices of Yeshin Norbu’s Spiritual Director, Lama Zopa Rinpoche. It is said that engaging in a Nyung-nä retreat is equivalent to doing up to three months of other kinds of retreats. The principal purpose of the practice is the attainment of enlightenment for the benefit of all living beings.

As a retreat experience, this practice is very effective, but also physically demanding. On set of Nyung-nä takes two days and a morning to complete. We start together on the evening of Friday the 17th of June and continue to the morning of the 20th of June.

Doing one nyung-nä requires taking the Eight Mahayana Precepts (or vows) for two days. The precepts are taken for a 24-hour period during which we avoid: (1) killing, (2) stealing, (3) sexual activity, (4) telling lies, (5) taking intoxicants, (6) singing, dancing or playing music, (7) wearing jewelry or ornaments, and (8) using high seats or beds.

On the first day of the Nyung-nä only one meal is eaten, which is finished by noon. The following foods are avoided as they interfere with subtle winds in the body and thus, mantra recitation: egg, onion, garlic, radish, meat, and alcohol.

On the second day there is strict fasting. No food or drink is taken at all on this day. If you have medical conditions that do not allow you to fast, you can still participate in the Nyung-nä, but do not take the vows to refrain from eating food. So while you do not complete a traditional Nyung-nä, the practice is still highly beneficial.

During each day of the retreat, one does three sessions of well-structured practice, approximately three hours in length. In each session, there is the practice of the sadhana of Thousand-Armed Chenrezig (the sadhana from FPMT, which will be provided by Yeshin Norbu). The sadhana involves meditating on bodhicitta (the aspiration to attain enlightenment in order to benefit all beings), visualizing Chenrezig, reciting prayers and mantras, and performing prostrations.

We keep silence outside of the sessions and disengage from all technology.

The retreat is held at the centre, and participants will sleep at the centre. Yeshin Norbu can provide mattresses for some of the participants, and some will need to bring their own. Please state in the registration form if you can bring your own mattress. Yeshin Norbu organizes the offerings for the altar.

The retreat is not included in the Mental Gym Card.

Requirements

You have a basic understanding of the Buddhist teachings and tantric practices.
You have formally, or in your heart, taken Refuge in the Three Jewels.
Ideally it’s best if you have taken an empowerment (2-day wang) of Thousand-Armed Chenrezig.

Advice on preparations, fasting and prostrations

It can be helpful to begin cleaning up your diet as much as possible in the week prior to the Nyung-nä. You will sometimes hear of people not feeling physically well when they do this retreat. This is mostly due to the toxins that are eliminated from their system during this purification practice. The more we can get the toxins out of our system prior to the practice, the easier it will be. Essentially, it can be helpful to cut out an excess of animal products, junk food, sugar, caffeine, etc.

Familiarizing the body with full-length prostrations prior to the Nyung-nä is a great help. Those participating in a Nyung-nä retreat are encouraged to do full-length prostrations within the sessions, so getting accustomed to doing them prior to the retreat is suggested. Simpler prostrations (either the five-point prostration or merely folding one’s hands) are certainly an option for those who are restricted from doing full prostrations due to health concerns.

The second day is the most difficult part of the retreat. We experience hunger, thirst and tiredness from doing prostrations. However, these discomforts can be seen in a different light with a compassionate motivation and an understanding of the purpose of this type of retreat; it is through experiencing hardships that one is able to purify a great deal of negative karma. Furthermore, it is said that by experiencing these discomforts, one can develop a better understanding of the suffering of those less fortunate than us and develop greater compassion for all sentient beings, and greater renunciation of samsara.

What to bring

Towel and washcloth
Mala (Buddhist prayer beads) preferably crystal or glass, not made of bones
Dorje and bell (no need if you have not taken an empowerment)
Mandala set (this can help with visualization, but is optional)
Earplugs
Several sets of loose, layered clothing
Personal toiletries (something to rub into sore muscles is helpful, or pain relievers without scent)
If you bring offerings for the altar please check that they do not contain eggs, radish, onion, garlic or meat.
A soft headband if you have long hair, helpful when doing prostrations
Padded potholders or mittens to slide on when doing prostrations
Bed linen, a pillow, and a blanket
Mattress – please state in the registration form if you can bring your own mattress.

How can you contribute?

Sponsor the retreat: Nyung-nä is a very powerful practice so there is great power in the merit of supporting it financially. Supporting this spiritual practice – whether you are able to attend or not – is an opportunity to collect great merit. If you are sponsoring but not attending, you can offer prayers on that day for those attending.

Prepare and cook food for participants: There will be one dinner, one lunch and one breakfasts during the retreat. Please contact us if you are interested in contributing with this service, which is so crucial for the success of the retreat.
