Padmasambhava, the Vajra Guru, concealed ‘treasure’ teachings throughout the land of Tibet. He placed them in the depths of caves, on mountain crags and in the minds of men yet to be born. Once found, they must be treated carefully – by a practitioner who knows their worth.

The same goes for our own finding of that precious jewel, the Dharma. We have encountered the teaching: but everything is still to play for. How to make sense of the vast tradition we inherit? If we know how to practise and stick to it, says Padmasambhava, ‘everything will arise from the treasure’. 

Prajnamanas, a member of the Padmaloka Ordination team, will give a series of talks on a canto of the Life and Liberation of Padmasambhava that dives into this exhilarating theme – the ‘Advice and Admonition to the Revealers of Treasures’. Come for five days and immerse yourself in meditation, friendship and the profound vision of Buddhism. Discover for yourself the treasures waiting to be revealed.
