EXPLORING BUDDHISM: 2010 Wisdom Teachings
with Khen Rinpoche Geshe Lobzang Tsetan
Questions and discussion included, along with a meditation and blessing, in this rare opportunity to meet a Tibetan Monk in an "up close and personal" intimate gathering. He will share with us his practices of "Wisdom Teachings" with Tibetan Buddhist techniques for experiencing joy in everyday life. The session will sessions will begin and end with traditional Buddhist prayers led by Khen Rinpoche.
Buddhist traditions place great value on the development of wisdom, of direct insight into the nature of ourselves and of our world. At the same time, in the domain of ethics the Buddhist traditions strongly urge the cultivation of affective skills such as compassion, which can be manifested through practicing virtues such as generosity, patience and honesty. How do these two domains, of cultivating wisdom and of cultivating ethics, fit together in a path of transformative spiritual practice? We will explore these topics on this day!
