Treasure Valley Dharma Friends is pleased to present 

Lama Jhampa Shaneman

February 5-9, 2014

 Separating from the 4 Attachments

With attachment to this life –

there is no Dharma practitioner;

Attachment to samsara –

no renunciation;

Attachment to self-purpose –

no Enlightenment thought;

If grasping arises –

there is no view.

Lama Jhampa will be leading practices and teaching on “Separating from the 4 Attachments.”  This is a classic Buddhist teaching said to have a divine origin. When he was just twelve years old, the founder of the Sakya tradition, Sachen Kunga Nyingpo (1092- 1158), received this concise and profound teaching directly from Manjushri. Still today, this essential teaching of Mind Training is especially valued for developing the altruistic motivation.

Jhampa Shaneman studied Mahayana Buddhism in Dharamsala, India from 1971 until 1984. He was an ordained monk during those years. He studied with His Holiness the Dalai Lama, His Holiness's senior tutor Kyabje Ling Rinpoche, Ven. Geshe Rabten, Geshe Dhargaye and other famous Lamas of that time. Jhampa has translated for Masters of all the 4 sects of Tibetan Buddhism over the last 25 years and carries various lineages from these traditions. In 1980, Jhampa entered the traditional Great Retreat and spent the next three and a half years on the mountain above Dharmsala, India.
