We are delighted to have formed a partnership with Gompa–Tibetan Monastery Services, the online services site for the major monasteries and nunneries of India and Nepal, to create Gompa Wisdom Teachings.

Gompa Wisdom Teachings offers Plus and All-Access members of the Wisdom Experience a chance to learn directly from senior lamas and support the Dharma activities of major monasteries and nunneries throughout India and Nepal and a growing number of teaching centers all over the world. Each year we’ll be bringing three major teachings or courses to the Wisdom Experience.

Our current Gompa Wisdom Teaching provides rare opportunity to receive a comprehensive three-day teaching from H. H. the Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang Thinley Lhundup on the revered text Introduction to Mahamudra: The Co-emergent Unification composed by Drikung Kyopa Jigten Sumgon (1143–1217) the founder of the Drikung Kagyu lineage. This special teaching, recorded at Drikung Kagyu Jangchubling Monastery, at Dehradun, India, includes a detailed commentary on the four preliminary practices, the ‘pointing out’ introductions, both with regard to recognizing the nature of mind itself and the nature of appearances, and related oral transmissions. The meditative approach known as ‘Mahamudra’, which is especially highly regarded within both the Kagyu and Geluk lineage traditions, comprises a sequence of systematic advanced meditations on emptiness and pure appearance.  The practice of Mahamudra applies both ‘calm abiding’ (zhi nas / shamatha) and ‘higher insight’ (lhag mthong / vipasyana) directly to the nature of the meditator’s own mind. The teaching is given in Tibetan with English translation.

Additionally, as a Plus or All-Access member of the Wisdom Experience you can receive special discount to access to all of Gompa’s online services and member-supporter benefits, including access to Gompa’s extensive library of teachings and courses by eminent Rinpoches and senior teachers.
