Hello Dharma Friends,

On behalf of Jam Tse Choling Temple, I wish you a very happy New Year. I pray that 2021 will be a year free of this pandemic and that you and your family will have a happy and healthy life. Throughout your lives, may you always have Buddha’s blessing.

Geshe Trinley

For 2021 we will slightly adjust our teaching format in order to better accommodate new students. Our teaching schedule will be as follows:

1st Sunday of each month – Introduction to Buddhism
2nd and 3rd Sunday – Regular teaching
4th Sunday – Q & A

Teachings will continue to be at 2pm Sundays online in Zoom. All are welcome! If you are interested in attending, please email contact to request the Zoom connection info.

Today’s Dharma teaching at 2 p.m. will be a Question & Answer session, reviewing questions that have come in via email.

We also thought it would be beneficial to share this talk from His Holiness Dalai Lama on overcoming anger and anxiety. This was recorded in New Delhi 2019.

This Thursday, December 10 happens to be a very special day of two great masters:
1) Parinirvana of Great Lham Tsongkhapa (Gaden Namchoe) and
2) Anniversary of His Holiness the Dalai Lama receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989.

So this Sunday, in order to celebrate these two great occasions, Geshe la will briefly talk about Lama Tsongkhapa and His Holiness’ Four commitments.
