The Art of Trust
The Teacher-Student-Relationship in Vajrayana Buddhism
Weekend event with Déwang Pamo & Trak'thung Dorje
Wien, Österreich
Austria
In-person only
What do we found our trust on – and do we actually know how to trust anyone anymore? Can we trust ourselves?
This weekend will give an introduction to the heart of Vajrayana – the relationship with the vajra master. The vajra master is indispensable within Vajrayana, and at the same time the one aspect of Vajrayana that is most misunderstood in the West.
It is therefore of vital importance for anyone wantingto follow this specific Buddhist path to develop a well-founded understanding of the function of the teacher-student-relationship.
How do I recognize if a teacher is authentic? Which requirements should the student live up to? What is the meaning of devotion? What can I do when problems arise? How react to abuse?
We want to give ourselves time and space to develop a clearer understanding, all questions are emphatically welcome.
These teachings are offered for anyone who is seeking to enter the stream of Vajrayana, or to further develop their understanding. Participants are not expected to seek Ngakma Déwang and Naljorpa Traktung Dorje as their vajra master.
“Without the Lama, Buddha, Dharma and Sangha do not exist. This is because someone has to exemplify the path. A path is all well and good; but if you cannot see anyone who has lived that, if you cannot see anyone who in some way exemplifies the fruit of that path, then what inspiration is there?” - Ngak’chang Rinpoche
