Blessed SlayÂ
Embodying the Fire of the Kagyu Lineage
with Lama Rod Owens
New Date: Tuesday, February 25th, 2025 from 6-9pm ET
Beginning in 2025, Lama Rod will be sharing monthly teachings* on The Jewel Ornament of Liberation, a masterwork of Tibetan Buddhism and foundational text of the 3-year retreat in the Kagyu School, written by Gampopa (b.1079 - d.1153).Â
Â
Each month, Lama Rod will be offering line-by-line teachings, commentary, and attunement to this precious lineage text. Every session will include an array of practices to support participant’s direct experience of the material being covered, alongside opportunities for Q&A and group connection. We will be moving at the speed of trust with no set pace to allow these teachings to be shared over as many months as needed for the benefit of all beings.Â
Â
Closed Captioning will be available. The recording of this offering will be shared with all registered participants.
*We plan to continue this offering throughout 2025, stay tuned for more details about future dates!
