Questions about Buddhism?
with Jon Landaw
Sunday, Nov 3: 10:30am-12pm
Everyone, whether a brand-new student or someone with years of experience, is welcome to attend this session with Jon Landaw, a long-time friend of Tse Chen Ling and other FPMT centers. This morning, after leading a brief meditation practice, Jon will devote the bulk of the session to addressing whatever Dharma-related questions you may have. He very much enjoys interacting with people this way and finds that it is the best way of discovering why people come to a Dharma center and what they are really interested in.
If you feel uncomfortable asking your questions in front of others, you are very strongly encouraged to write them down either beforehand or after you have arrived at the center. If Jon finds he cannot answer any of the questions he receives, he will say so right away and move on to the next question so as not to waste anyone’s time. But with over forty years of experience as both a student and teacher of Buddhism—including having edited such books as Wisdom Energy and Introduction to Tantra by his main teachers, Lama Thubten Yeshe (1935-1984) and Kyabje Zopa Rinpoche, as well as having written a number of his own works, such as Images of Enlightenment and Buddhism for Dummies—Jon hopes he can give helpful responses to most of the questions you may have.
