Ven Geshe Palden teachings – Saturdays 2-4PM - July & August 2016

We are very fortunate to receive a commentary on the Four Noble Truths by Ven Geshe Palden, at TsongKhapa Meditation Center in July. The Four Noble Truths are the first teaching given by Buddha Shakyamuni and are the foundations of the Buddhadharma. By gaining experience and understanding of the Four Noble Truths, one establishes a solid basis for a successful practice.

In August, Geshe la will continue the teachings with a commentary on the Three Principal Aspects of the Path, a condensed text on the Path to Enlightenment written by Lama Tsongkhapa.  Understanding of the Three Principal Aspects of the Path is indispensable to achieve liberation from the suffering nature of cyclic existence.
