Practice
Q: What is a reading transmission?|
A: A reading transmission or lüng in Tibetan is when a teacher reads the entirety of a text to the student/s. This will occur in the Tibetan language. By receiving a reading transmission from a qualified lineage holder we make a link all the way back to the origin or founder of the teaching, creating the all-important cause and condition for the result of enlightenment. Thus hearing the sound of the words from the lips of the transmission bestower in real time confers the lineage blessings that make the reading of translations of texts such as Longchenpa’s Seven Treasuries fruitful. Any commentary or teachings which accompany the lüng will be in English with Mandarin translation.
Q: Will there be practice texts for the event?
A: Yes, please review this section of the website to check for the practice text required, there will be a minimum of opening and dedication prayers.
Q: Are Longchenpa’s Seven Treasuries available in English translation?
A: Five of the Seven Treasuries have been translated in their entirety. (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Treasuries)
