Tuesdays – Foundation Program 6:30pm to 9:00pm. This year beginning our study of the classic Lamrim text: Joyful Path of Good Fortune.
Tharpa Publications describes this text as:
“A clear and comprehensive explanation of the entire path to enlightenment. We all have the potential for self-transformation, and a limitless capacity for the growth of good qualities, but to fulfil this potential we need to know what to do along every stage of our spiritual journey. With this book, Geshe Kelsang offers us step-by-step guidance on the meditation practices that will lead us to lasting inner peace and happiness. With extraordinary clarity, he presents all Buddha’s teachings in the order in which they are to be practised, enriching his explanation with stories and illuminating analogies. This is a perfect guidebook to the Buddhist path.” (https://tharpa.com/ca/joyful-path-of-good-fortune)
Through study and meditation and we’ll explore practical solutions to our daily problems, presented in this comprehensive text.
