Lama Chopa vs Six Sessions Guru Yoga
Lama Chopa vs Six Sessions Guru Yoga
When does one practice one vs the other ?
Re: Lama Chopa vs Six Sessions Guru Yoga
Lama Chöpa every 2 weeks according to certain days in the moon calendar. Six times guru yoga is a daily practice, if you took the commitment.

Re: Lama Chopa vs Six Sessions Guru Yoga
I came here hoping to see an epic fight between the two. But yeah as Ayu said. Some people also have a daily practice commitment (or just like to practice it daily) of Lama Chopa, especially those who took teachings on it from what I heard. But I aint no Gelugpa and not planning to become one, so just my two cents.
“Observing samaya involves to remain inseparable from the union of wisdom and compassion at all times, to sustain mindfulness, and to put into practice the guru’s instructions”. Garchen Rinpoche
For those who do virtuous actions,
goodness is what comes to pass.
For those who do non-virtuous actions,
that becomes suffering indeed.

Lama Chopa can be everyday with or without the Ganachakra. With the Ganachakra is done twice a month minimum.
Equanimity is the ground. Love is the moisture. Compassion is the seed. Bodhicitta is the result.
-Paraphrase of Khensur Rinpoche Lobsang Tsephel citing the Guhyasamaja Tantra
"All memories and thoughts are the union of emptiness and knowing, the Mind.
Without attachment, self-liberating, like a snake in a knot.
Through the qualities of meditating in that way,
Mental obscurations are purified and the dharmakaya is attained."
