Karma and Free Will
Thursdays, January 20 and 27, 2022
6:00pm - 7:30pm PST
with Geshe Thubten Sherab
Via Zoom. Registration is required.
Tse Chen Ling is honored to welcome back Geshe Thubten Sherab for a four-class series!
January 6 and 13 - Renunciation:
In a society based on materialism, financial wealth, followers, likes, and outer appearances, how do we practice renunciation? And what exactly are we renouncing??
In these sessions, Geshe Sherab will address what it means to renounce the causes of suffering and the problems of this life and why it's essential to our practice. We'll learn how to develop the strong, indestructible wish to be free from our own suffering, and extend this wish to all living beings.
January 20 and 27 - Karma and Free Will:
Is everything that happens to us pre-ordained? If karma is definite, are we stuck with our lot in life?
In these sessions, we’ll examine the relationship between karma and free will. Geshe-la will share his wisdom on how the universal law of cause and effect guides our life, and whether we can shape our own existence through practice, merit, and purification.
