Thursday, |
New York, New York | On the Path of Buddha The goal of any spiritual or religious search is to find true and lasting happiness. The goal of any philosophy is to make sense of reality. Not many people can successfully teach someone how to achieve either goal. Dzogchen Khenpo Choga Rinpoche is that rare kind of teacher who can clearly and simply explain complicated and profound concepts and transmit them to an audience. He explains the nature of happiness, reality, consciousness, time, reincarnation and karma with examples from philosophy, science, and everyday life. His lectures are perfect for beginners and those interested in Buddhist Philosophy. Khenpo translates profound Tibetan and Sanskrit terminology into simple English phrases that empower the English language to transform enigmatic Buddhist teachings into lessons a Western mind can understand. Long-time Buddhist practitioners can also greatly benefit from his teachings by seeing the concepts they have been contemplating for years in a clear light. Many Buddhists have commented that they didn’t really understand key foundational principles of Dharma until they met Khenpo. Location: Donations are appreciated and needed. No one will be turned away for the lack of funds. For more information please contact: |

Eugene, Oregon | The Four Noble Truths of the Enlightened The Four Noble Truths of the Enlightened, also known as "The Four Noble Truths" are the Buddha's first teaching given after attaining perfect Enlightenment. They are the cornerstone of Buddhist teaching in all traditions of Buddhism. In a few sentences these truths encompass the whole of the Buddhist path from start to finish and lead to the vast teachings, profound meaning and specific practices of Buddhism. The five original students of the Buddha who heard these teachings in person each attained the enlightened level of "Arhat" on the spot, simply on the basis of hearing, understanding and realizing these teachings immediately in the presence of the perfectly Enlightened Buddha. Buddhists, aspiring Buddhists, or people interested in Buddhism should understand the teaching of these four truths, and most importantly should understand how these teachings constantly relate to their practice of Buddhism and their daily states of mind. Location: This teaching is open to the public. Admission is free but donations are needed and appreciated. For more information please contact: |
