Detailed Differentiation between the Three Disciplines Part 3

In this work, Sakya Pandita Künga Gyaltsen (1182–1251), one of the founding fathers of the Sakya lineage and an eminent teacher respected by all traditions of Tibetan Buddhism, presents the three disciplines (dom sum) that support Buddhist practice: the discipline of individual liberation, of a bodhisattva, and of the vajrayana. The precepts of each are explained, as well as the apparent contradictions between their different levels. Knowledge of the various disciplines associated with Buddhist practice is a prerequisite for anyone who seriously undertakes the path.

Lama Jampa, with his rich heritage from both the Sakya and Kagyü lineages, will explain this text and clarify the divergent views concerning certain points.

Lama Jampa Thaye is a scholar and meditation master in the Sakya and Karma Kagyü traditions. A British citizen born in 1952, he has received teachings and empowerments from a great number of masters, in particular Karma Thinley Rinpoche, whose regent he became in 1988. He has taught at Manchester University, where he received a doctorate for his work on Tibetan religious history. Today, he teaches at KIBI (Karmapa International Buddhist Institute) in Delhi and around the world; he is the author of numerous works. He is appreciated for his knowledge of traditional texts and his ability to present them in a way that is accessible to Western audiences.
