Living Lightly - The Practice of Emptiness
June 15–17, 2012
with Gen Samten Kelsang
This weekend course will explore the ultimate nature of ourself and the people we relate to. Using seven special points of contemplation called “Chandrakirti’s seven-fold reasoning” we can destroy the three poisons of self-grasping, attachment and anger and become liberated from all the suffering they produce. By combining Geshe-la’s instructions in Ocean of Nectar and Modern Buddhism, this practical and in-depth course will help us to live lightly and joyfully in contemporary society.
The in-depth nature of this special course will assume some basic familiarity with Buddhas teachings on emptiness - the ultimate nature of reality. Participants are encouraged to read the chapter "Ultimate Truth" from Modern Buddhism which can be ordered from tharpa.com or downloaded as a free ebook on emodernbuddhism.com
Course Fee - $75 including vegetarian meals,
