What is Buddha Nature?
with Ven. Sangye Khadro

Tuesday, May 18, 2021
Tuesday, June 1, 2021
6:00pm - 7:30pm Pacific Time (US and Canada)
Presented via Zoom. Registration is required.
Program Description:
A buddha is a being whose mind is free of all faults, mistaken ideas, attitudes, and conceptions. All the negative states of mind -- things like anger, hatred, greed, and ignorance -- are totally gone, totally cleared away, and will never rise again. Also, a buddha’s enlightened mind is perfect in all good qualities -- compassion, kindness, wisdom, generosity, patience, etc. And we all have the potential to attain this state, the state of full enlightenment.
Ven. Sangye Khadro joins us for a teaching on Buddha nature, and the methods we can learn to gradually bring about this transformation of our mind from an unenlightened state, as it is right now, to an enlightened state, just as the Buddha did.
