Even as we begin on the path of opening our heart to others, many of us can continue to be hard on ourselves. Our pressure-filled world can often mean we punish ourselves for not meeting life's many challenges. How are we to develop sincere compassion for others without generating it for ourselves? In this evening talk, open to people of all levels of interest, renowned teacher Geshe Thubten Sherab will show us how to awaken deeper compassion for all. Integrating the Path into our Daily LivesSaturday, April 13: 10am-4pm
Most of us work hard to balance a busy job, family responsibilities and maintaining friendships in an often chaotic world. When we develop an interest in cultivating the spiritual path, it can be a challenge to reconcile our practice with living a busy life. Tse Chen Ling is honored to have Geshe Sherab Gyatso join us for two evenings of advice on how each can merge our practice more fully with our daily lives. Doing so can help us live our lives with more presence, confidence, compassion and wisdom. "For beginners in the Dharma, the most important thing is to try and integrate one's study and practice. Some are only into studying, they focus only on the intellectual. They have knowledge like a computer, but this knowledge never really touches the heart. This kind of individual becomes very arrogant and tends to look down on other people with less learning." - Geshe Thubten Sherab The Foundation of All Good QualitiesMonday, April 15: 7pm-9pm
Over the course of this evening, Geshe Thubten Sherab will illuminate "The Foundation of All Good Qualities", the shortest lam rim ("The Graded Path to Enlightenment") text composed by the great Lama Tsongkhapa. Arranged in 14 verses, this distills the entire path to enlightenment and ultimate happiness. This teaching is a part of "The Life and Legacy of Lama Tsongkhapa" presented by Tse Chen Ling. |
