Hello,
A friendly reminder that tomorrow (Jul 27) teaching is cancelled, as Geshe la will be attending a ceremony at the Vietnamese temple.
We have completed teachings on the Three principal Aspects of the Path, and will change topics Sun Aug 3 to the difference between the brain and mind.
Tibetan language study will also start Aug 3, and start at 1:30pm Sundays
Please check the website calendar for the most up-to-date scheduling.
Our events are open to the public and free of charge.
Events are open to attend in-person, and are often cast on Zoom.
Our resident teacher is available for private consultation by appointment.

Established basis
Spelling (jorlok; Tib. སྦྱོར་ཀློག་) and pronunciation:
གཞི་ – ga-o zha gigu zhi
གྲུབ་ – ga ra-tak dra zhabkyu dru ba drub
zhi drub
From class notes:
“First, what must be understood is this: the established basis (Tib. གཞི་གྲུབ་ gzhi grub), object of knowledge (Tib. ཤེས་བྱ་ shes bya), existence (Tib. ཡོད་པ་ yod pa), and phenomena (Tib. ཆོས་ chos) are all of one meaning.
The meaning of an established basis is that which is established by valid cognition (Skt. pramāṇa).”
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.
