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.
