Dispelling the Darkness of Suffering
Teaching by Lama Jampa Thaye
Spring Teaching Visit
Saturday 28th February 2026 10.30 am – 4.30 pm
Dispelling the Darkness of Suffering, composed by Karma Thinley Rinpoche, is a clear and authoritative, line by line commentary upon The Seven Points of Mind Training written by Geshe Chekhawa.
​
This classic twelfth century text on lojong (‘mind training’) is in the form of pith instructions that show the methods to transform everyday life into the path to enlightenment, by developing bodhichitta (‘enlightenment-mind’, the resolve to attain buddhahood for the benefit of others) on the basis of loving-kindness and compassion.
​
Rinpoche brilliantly illuminates these pith instructions, enabling us to apply them to whatever situations we encounter.
Dispelling the Darkness of Suffering by Karma Thinley Rinpoche is available to purchase on the day or pre-order by contacting bobbi.jefferson@dechen.org
