2026/08/01 - Initiation of Dharma Teachings Related to Mental Training

This year, during the Summer Retreat, the Bokar Choktrul Rinpoche, considering the needs and auspicious circumstances, initiated the Dharma teachings at our own seat. At the beginning, he outlined the way the precious teachings of the Buddha spread in the land of India, focusing on the three stages of the Dharma wheel taught by the Buddha and the contributions of scholars and saints. He then discussed the early and later propagation of the teachings in Tibet by the mentors, scholars, and Dharma kings, as well as the dissemination of the eight great lineages emphasizing practice. Particularly, he began the Dharma teachings related to mental training, based on the text "Mental Training in Eight Verses" by Geshe Langri Thangpa, with the commentary by Jachakpa, as a prelude to the life story of Atisha, the torchbearer of the Kadampa tradition, the glorious Atisha.
