We are deeply honored to welcome H.E. Khensur Jhado Tulku Rinpoche for his first in-person visit to Shantideva Center, for a teaching on the Buddha's experience of enlightenment: profound, peaceful, elaboration-free, clear light, and non-composite.
What is Buddha nature, and what are the afflictions that obscure its manifestation? This sounds like a simple question, but there are a set of common obstacles that prevent us from fully understanding and accepting this important idea.
Guy Newland explores the idea of the Dharma as refuge, the teaching that "wishlessness" is a door to liberation, and consider how emptiness shows that hope is ultimately based in reality itself.
The course is based on The Fourteenth Dalai Lama's Stages of the Path: Guidance for the Modern Practitioner. It is Buddhism for the 21st century, relevant for today's world. Gavin Kilty will give an overview of each chapter to illustrate these points.
Shantideva Center presents Geshe Sherab in this six-part teaching series on Nagarjuna’s uplifting praise to buddha nature. Come learn about how you can manifest your own naturally luminous mind!
The topics being taught - Renunciation, Buddha Nature, and Emptiness and Pure Perception - are essential to understand in order to attain the everlasting state of satisfaction. These topics will be presented in terms of not only their philosophical importance but also their practical application in daily life.
