    We are happy to announce that we will be resuming teachings via Zoom until the new temple is renovated and ready. Thank you for your patience.

    We need to shift the time of the teachings to the afternoon to accommodate Geshe la and Ama la’s schedule. The teaching will be weekly on Sundays, starting September 13th, from 2pm to 3:30pm.

    We recommend that you download and install Zoom before next Sunday to prepare for the virtual meeting. Feel free to reply to this email if you have any questions. The meeting details are included further down in the email.

    We will start the teachings following the same format as in-person:
    – Open with the refuge prayer
    – Dharma teaching for 60 minutes
    – 15-20 minutes for questions and clarification
    – Closing comments and dedication prayer

    Geshe la intends to begin a new topic on View and Behaviour in the Buddhist context.

    We are happy to welcome you back and look forward to seeing you next week. To start off we will do Zoom-only teachings. If you are interested in joining, send an email to contact@jtclcalgary.ca for the meeting info, all are welcome.

  • Tibetan word of the day: ལྷན་ཅིག་བྱེད་པའི་རྐྱེན་

    ལྷན་ཅིག་བྱེད་པའི་རྐྱེན་

    co-operating conditions

    Spelling (jorlok; Tib. སྦྱོར་ཀློག་) and pronunciation:
    ལྷན་ – la ha-tak hla na hlen
    ཅིག་ – ca gigu ci ga cig (chik)
    བྱེད་ – ba ya-tak ja drengbu je da je
    པའི་ – pa a gigu i pe
    རྐྱེན་ – ra ka-tak ka ya-tak kya drengbu kye na kyen
    hlen chik je pe kyen

    From class, we discussed results that do and don’t use the
    co-operating conditions of soil and water, such as a tree and fire, respectively.

    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.
