Light Dinner with Guy Newland
​Teaching

---

Join us for an engaging evening with Guy Newland, Ph.D., scholar of Tibetan Buddhism and professor at Central Michigan University since 1988.  Dr. Guy Newland has authored, translated, and edited a number of publications on Tibetan Buddhism. He was a student of Jeffrey Hopkins. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Newland

Dr. Guy Newland will share how we all hear how central "emptiness" is to Buddhist practice. It is, after all, the ultimate truth and that which we should be trying to realize. 

But most times, it really sounds like something extra, some extremely complicated thing thrown on top of the stressful complexities of daily life. 

Dr. Guy Newland will simplify these concepts to ground students towards practical applications for our daily lives.  He will delve into:

• What are some examples that allow us to get a deeper sense of what emptiness means?
• How can we get closer to understanding things realistically without worrying about concepts of emptiness at all?
• As distinct from what we might some day understand and realize, how much—and in what ways—can these Buddhist ideas actually help us in our lives right now?
