We are pleased to announce that in March 2012, Kyabgön Phakchok Rinpoche will continue his series of teachings on the Nine Yanas in Nepal by holding a week-long programme on the Pratyekabuddhayana, the vehicle of self-realised buddhas, hosted by the Chokgyur Lingpa Foundation (CGLF). The first yana, the Shravakayana, was taught in January last year, 2011.

What are the Nine Yanas?

The Sanskrit word ‘yana’ means vehicle, a set of teachings that when practiced ‘carry’ one to the level of fruition. Buddha Shakyamuni taught a huge variety of teachings in order to tame the array of different sentient beings with their individual capacities and inclinations. This vast range of teachings can be condensed into the gradual path of the nine yanas or vehicles.

Phakchok Rinpoche’s teachings on the nine yanas follow a collection of texts that have been compiled specifically for this purpose. These collections include words of the Buddha, texts by Indian panditas, and by Tibetan mahasiddhas, and cover the view, meditation, conduct, and fruition of each yana. Moreover, there’s a specific sadhana for each yana. These sadhanas are called
the Heart Essence of the Three Enlightened Families (Rigsum Nyingtik), and are a branch teaching of the Three Sections of the Great Perfection (Dzogchen Desum), a very famous text revealed by the supreme treasure revealer Chokgyur Lingpa. The retreat will be a combination of teachings with Rinpoche and discussion groups and meditation sessions.

For more information on the Nine Yanas and this retreat,
