I thought I would approach it by explaining the meaning and being fairly brief, as it is common among teachers to approach teachings for Westerners in this way. But Jigme Rinpoche said that, on the contrary, the idea was to go into detail, word by word, and that it would take as long as necessary. He said that it was really necessary to explain what was in the text in order to understand everything in detail, and so that students could repeat the <em>Gy\u00fc Lama<\/em> in the future.<\/p>\n<p>For this, the translator had to understand the content, so I prepared a support that could also be useful for those who speak and read Tibetan.

I didn&#8217;t become a monk because of difficulties I had when I was little, or because I renounced the world after seeing the faults of samsara. Rather, it was because I wanted to, because my friends had done the same, and because it also inspired my family. Moreover, from a very young age, I never really aspired to a secular life. I wanted a monastic life and <strong>I devoted my life<\/strong> to it.<\/p>\n<p>When I was in Tibet, people praised study conditions in India, the fact that you were provided with food and lodging and could therefore just devote yourself to your studies. In Tibet, it took two or three days on horseback to reach Dzongsar Monastery. You had to carry your own food, cook, know how to store it, etc. It was more complicated to study under these conditions. Nevertheless, before going to India, I studied Tibetan grammar and civilization. Before you can study Buddhist texts directly, you need to have a good knowledge of grammar treatises and poetry. This traditional progression then allows you to access the Dharma texts.<\/p>\n<p>From 2000 on, I started off by teaching Tibetan grammar at the Dzongsar Shedra in India.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Question 5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||40px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ab0032;\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/dhagpo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Entretien_Khempo-Samdrup_01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-334210\" src=\"https:\/\/dhagpo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Entretien_Khempo-Samdrup_01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"594\" height=\"446\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dhagpo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Entretien_Khempo-Samdrup_01.jpg 594w, https:\/\/dhagpo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Entretien_Khempo-Samdrup_01-480x361.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 594px, 100vw\" \/><\/a>You headed the Dzongsar Shedra.

In secular life, we study to get a job and make a living.<\/p>\n<p>In the context of the Dharma, the goal is to free ourselves from samsara and attain the full and perfect enlightenment of the Buddha. To achieve this, we need to gather a large number of causes and conditions, and this requires studying the various texts. It is vast and time-consuming, but it is good to have as complete a study of the texts as possible. There are particularly important texts such as the Abhidharma, because without understanding the worlds of form and formlessness, the different samadhis, etc., it will be difficult to know the goal. The Gy\u00fc Lama is also very important in terms of the logic of causes, conditions, and consequences that it presents. With a single text, one cannot understand everything. In the Gy\u00fc Lama, there is much reference to emptiness, but to understand this, one must study Madhyamaka!<br \/>The main difference with the shedra is that here and elsewhere we are caught up in other things, and this delays our understanding of the text. What is important is consistency, attending all sessions, otherwise one will not reap the fruits of study. Time depends on us. If we give priority to study, we will be able to make time for it.
