Developing
Good Qualities
When the external conditions of our life are going
well, it is easy to be happy. But for many of us, when those conditions
change into difficulties we respond with unhappy states of mind.
Is it possible to maintain a steadiness of outlook and a calm optimism
regardless of what the world brings us? Geshe Ngawang will speak about
how to cultivate and sustain a positive attitude and kind heart by
practicing the trainings of the bodhisattva path. This class is suitable
for both newcomers and more advanced student.
The Ornament of Clear Realizations
The Ornament summarizes the Buddha's vast Perfection of
Wisdom teachings, describing the paths followed by bodhisattvas,
hearers and solitary realizers and the fruits of their practice.
This essential Mahayana text is difficult to comprehend without the
interpretation of a skilled teacher. Geshe Ngawang Tenley, who is
near completion of his geshe degree at Sera Je Monastery, continues
the commentary this winter while Geshe Tsulga is away. Although this
class is open to anyone, a background in the Lamrim teachings or
familiarity with Buddhist philosophy is recommended for this intermediate
level series. However, even without familiarity with the topic, Geshela
has emphasized it is highly beneficial to listen in order to receive
imprints which lays the foundation for understanding in the future.
