Tse Chen Ling is honored to welcome back Ven. Sangye Khadro for a thirteen-class series!
Program Description:
Tenets is the study of the various Buddhist philosophical schools that developed in India, based on the Buddha’s teachings. Like a skillful doctor, the Buddha would explain the nature of things in different ways to people of differing mental capacities and dispositions, but the purpose of all these teachings is to help sentient beings become free of suffering and its causes, and attain genuine happiness, liberation, and enlightenment. In this course, we will study a short text on Tenets by Jetsun Chökyi Gyeltsen, textbook writer of Sera-je Monastic College, supplemented by material from other sources.
About Ven. Sangye Khadro:
Originally from California, Sangye Khadro (Kathleen McDonald) was ordained as a Buddhist nun in Kopan Monastery, Nepal, in 1974. She has studied Buddhism with various teachers such as Lama Zopa Rinpoche, Lama Thubten Yeshe, and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. At the request of her teachers, Ven Sangye Khadro began teaching in 1979, while living in England, and since then has taught in many countries around the world. She was a resident teacher at Amitabha Buddhist Centre, in Singapore, for 11 years. In 1988 Sangye Khadro took the full ordination (bhikshuni) vows. She is the author of How to Meditate and Awakening the Kind Heart. She completed the Masters Program in Istituto Lama Tsong Khapa, Italy, in 2013, and was on the faculty of the Human Spirit Psychoanalytic-Buddhist Training Program in Israel for seven years. She now lives in Sravasti Abbey, Washington, and teaches online.
