The next subject Geshe la will teach will be on Six root kleshas (or delusions).
Geshe la will start the teaching on ignorance, and would like the students to do some reading on this subject.
Saturday September 23rd 2017 10 am – 12 pm
The meditation instruction session is scheduled to proceed, and we should have enough room to accommodate drop-in guests. If you are interested and have not yet signed up, you are welcome to attend!
The teaching will loosely follow this format, but Geshe la may adjust as needed:
10 AM – Instruction
10:45 AM – Practice
Break
11 AM – Q/A and further instruction
11:45 AM – More practice as time permits
We hope everyone had a nice August.
Wed Sept. 6 – Full Moon Tara Prayer
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

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.
