SEP 11, 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM: FRIDAY EVENING DHARMA TALK

Revealing Our Inner Wealth: A Commentary on the Perfection of Generosity

One of the greatest obstacles to our development as human beings is a persistent mental poverty, or sense of lack, that blinds us to the great variety of mental and spiritual tools we have right now at our disposal. The practice of generosity refers not just to sharing material wealth but to exercising the whole range of means for helping, protecting, and guiding others toward well-being. Khenpo Pema will discuss this essential element of our practice and shed light on how to cultivate our inner wealth.

SEP 12-13: WEEKEND RETREAT

Mind Training on the Path of the Spiritual Warrior

The path of the spiritual warrior involves cultivating the Six Paramitas (Perfections) over a long period of time. Shantideva's seminal text, The Way of the Bodhisattva, is our guide on this journey, giving us the necessary tools and encouragement as we strive for enlightenment in order to help all sentient beings achieve the same goal.
