The first day after our break will be a Full Moon Tara practice on Wed. Sept. 6 @ 7:00 PM

Sun Sept. 10 – Current Teaching
Our regular teaching will begin from Sunday, September 10, 2017 @ 10AM. On this day Geshe la wants to give a comprehension test on karmic cause and effect. Geshe la will ask questions and students will write down the answers on pieces of sheets and submit them without signing their names. We will know the result on Sunday, September 17. Once Geshe la is satisfied that we have a good grasp of this teaching, he will go on to the next set of teachings as follows:

The Three Principle Aspects of the Path
By Je Tsong Kha Pa

Contains the essence of the entire teaching of Lord Buddha. They are:
1) Renunciation, the wish to be free from Samsara
2) Bodhicitta, the mind of enlightenment
3) Perfect View (Empty nature of all dharma).

Meditation/Prayer on Tuesdays resume Sept. 12 @ 7:00 PM

    Four Possibilities in the form of Questions:
    a) Is it possible that there is something that exists that is a table and also impermanent?
    b) Is it possible that there is something that exists that is not a table and also impermanent?

    Geshe la encourages us to learn Tibetan to help gain deeper
    understanding of the teachings, and gain access to prayers and rituals that have not been translated. The Tibetan word of the day is offered to give regular exposure to Tibetan reading and vocabulary.
