Chod Teachers England UK

Post by Konchog Thogme Jampa »

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.

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 points

As I said, I would try to find instruction on the Great Collection. Practicing Chod liturgies without this is a waste of time.

Is that in this book?:

I have this but not sure if it requires transmission?

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

Is it OK to read the whole book or do the other parts require transmission?

Thanks Malcolm 🙏

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.

So up to section 13 ‘Door Opening Empowerments’?

Yes. Unless you have received such an empowerment.

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.

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:
