This is an excellent opportunity for those of you who will be attending His Holiness Dalai Lama's teachings to further explore the subtleties of Madhyamika meditation and philosophy.
Madhyamika is a Mahayana Buddhist School whose doctrines are based on the notion that all phenomena is fundamentally void of inherent existence. Nagarjuna is considered to be the founder of the tradition, and his "Sixty Stanza's of Reasoning" will be the basis of Rinpoche's teaching. Rinpoche will also be leading Buddha Path group meditations and practice.
Suggested donations: $15.00 for Friday night, $30.00 for Saturday, $30.00 for Sunday. Discount for full-time students. These fees help pay for the hall rental. No one will be turned away due to lack of funds. The teachings themselves are given freely, but a separate teacher donation after the teachings is traditional.
