Chod Teachers England UK
Are there any recommended Chod Teachers in England/UK?
I do have the Lord Jigten Sumgon Mahamudra Chod but stopped practicing as I felt I needed a personal teacher to guide.

Understanding the principle of Chod far more important than playing a chod liturgy, which in any case should only be taken up after one has really understood the meaning of Machik's presentation of the four māras.Konchog Thogme Jampa wrote: ↑Mon Jan 17, 2022 8:26 pm

Thanks Acharya I’m not in a rush with it but would love to find a teacher to seriously hone down the points and finer pointsMalcolm wrote: ↑Mon Jan 17, 2022 8:49 pmUnderstanding the principle of Chod far more important than playing a chod liturgy, which in any case should only be taken up after one has really understood the meaning of Machik's presentation of the four māras.Konchog Thogme Jampa wrote: ↑Mon Jan 17, 2022 8:26 pm

As I said, I would try to find instruction on the Great Collection. Practicing Chod liturgies without this is a waste of time.Konchog Thogme Jampa wrote: ↑Mon Jan 17, 2022 10:21 pmThanks Acharya I’m not in a rush with it but would love to find a teacher to seriously hone down the points and finer pointsMalcolm wrote: ↑Mon Jan 17, 2022 8:49 pmUnderstanding the principle of Chod far more important than playing a chod liturgy, which in any case should only be taken up after one has really understood the meaning of Machik's presentation of the four māras.Konchog Thogme Jampa wrote: ↑Mon Jan 17, 2022 8:26 pm

The great collection can be approached from both a sutra and Vajrayana pov, so the lung transmission is good, but not absolutely needed.

You’re a gem
I’m going to the Welsh Mountains/Beach for ten weeks so plenty of opportunity to read it

Re: Chod Teachers England UK
It's a little better to have the empowerment before reading the ritual sections, but the instructions in the first part are fine to read.Konchog Thogme Jampa wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 5:39 pm

Yes.

Erik Jampa Anderson is based in London and teaches Chod.
He has taught the Yuthok Nyingthig Chod online several times, but he practices chod in several traditions.

Re: Chod Teachers England UK
Chodpa Norbu Renzin will be teaching an online Chod retreat in March! I have been studying under him for the past several months and I highly recommend him! He was a student of Mahasiddha Lama Wangdu Rinpoche. You can find out more information about the upcoming retreat here:
