Do I have to do it?  A teaching on tradition.  Shambala Journey - 10/16/22

On Sunday October 16, 2022, Lama Yeshe Jinpa taught about why our tradition looks the way it does. Marked by lights, incense, perfume, parasols, prostrations and more, the tradition can feel grand, almost operatic.

The lineage of Vajrayana and the tantras are powerful and passionate. Lama Jinpa calls this a “hot tradition,” one that’s expressive, expansive and magical. And it’s all for a reason—training for real life!


Lion's Roar Dharma Center at Do Nga Dargey Temple in Sacramento, California, is a Tibetan Buddhist Temple within the Gelugpa Lineage.  Lama Yeshe Jinpa is the spiritual director and resident teacher of Lion’s Roar Dharma Center, which he co-founded with Geshe Losang Gyatso in 1992. In 1995, Lama Jinpa received direct heart/mind transmission from Geshe Gyatso after 25 years of Dharma practice and study. He is one of the few western lamas thus far recognized within the Gelugpa lineage of Tibetan or Vajrayana Buddhism, the lineage of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
