In Praise of Dependent Origination, Continued | Yangten Rinpoche

About this teaching
This February Yangten Rinpoche will continue his online Saturday morning teachings for the Jamyang community. Following on from his teachings given last year, Rinpoche will continue his explanation of Lama Tsongkhapa’s revered text, In Praise of Dependent Origination. The verses, written after Lama Tsongkhapa attained enlightenment, express unbounded reverence for the profound reasoning taught by the Buddha so that we may realise emptiness, the ultimate nature of reality, and thereby liberate ourselves and others from the suffering of cyclic existence.

A recording of last years’ teaching can be found at on the Jamyang YouTube channel. Rinpoche will also most likely give a summary of what was covered last time for anyone who was unable to attend the earlier sessions. Students joining for the first time are very welcome.

About the teacher
Born in the Kham region of Tibet, Yangten Rinpoche was recognised as the reincarnation of his predecessor at the age of 10. An alumnus of the illustrious Sera Monastery, he graduated with the highest possible degree of Lharampa Geshe before completing his studies at Gyuto Tantric College. Since 2008, at the personal behest of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Yangten Rinpoche has been working at the Office of His Holiness the Dalai Lama in various capacities. For the past few years Rinpoche has been offering teachings at Jamyang, including his teachings on Tsongkhapa’s Song of Experience, the Ten Innermost Jewels of the Kadam, as well as dialgoues with Science & Wisdom Live.
