Los Angeles,
California

Los Angeles Overview

Tibetan Buddhist Master, His Eminence Dzogchen Khenpo Choga Rinpoche, will give a teaching in L.A. on the weekend after the Dalai Lama's visit. He will be elaborating on Madyamika, continuing the topic that the Dalai Lama will be teaching on, from the perspective of the Dzogchen Lineage and The Buddha Path. This is an excellent opportunity for those of you who will be attending the Dalai Lama's teachings to delve further into the topic, and also an excellent opportunity for those who could not attend the Dalai Lama's teachings. These teachings will be presented in English.

Madyamika 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 Dzogchen Khenpo Choga Rinpoche's teaching. Khenpo will also be leading group meditations and practice.

The three Madyamika teachings in Los Angeles will be held on:

Friday, April 16, 7-9 PM
Saturday, April 17, 2-8 PM
Sunday, April 18, 2-8 PM

At this location:

Charles E. Young Grand Salon
Kerckhoff Hall, U.C.L.A.

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.
