The Adventure Mahayana series ends with an online retreat that focuses on meditation. We will practice together and Acharya Lama Kelzang and Acharya Lama Sönam will be giving instructions for our continuous meditation path.
In this module of the Adventure Mahayana series, we look at the first five of the six paramitas: generosity, ethical discipline, patience, joyful effort, and meditation. These "perfections" form the basis for a practice that leads to enlightenment.
In this module in the Adventure Mahayana series, Acharya Lama Kelzang Wangdi teaches the last of the six paramitas: wisdom. Wisdom is like a guide for the prior five paramitas. And without wisdom, the other paramitas will not be of much benefit.
The central element on the Mahayana path is loving-kindness and compassion. How can we keep our hearts open and full of love and care for others, especially when we meet difficult circumstances?
This weekend in the Adventure Mahayana series, Acharya Lama Kelzang Wangdi teaches about the three kayas and the enlightened qualities and activities of a Buddha, which we ourselves will develop and manifest at the end of our path.
During this weekend of the Adventure Mahayana series, Acharya Lama Kelzang Wangdi teaches on the 5 paths and 10 bhumis. How is it at the different levels and how do we progress through them? When does one end and when does the next begin? What qualities do we develop at these levels? The next module from February 11th to 13th is about the three kayas and the Buddha activities.
Acharya Lama Sönam Rabgye will help us to gain a deeper understanding of karma and rebirth and we will examine how this relates to our practice and actions in daily life. We will also explore the question of how we can reconcile the teaching on emptiness with karma and rebirth.
On Wednesday evenings, everyone is invited to an open meditation led by Acharya Lama Sönam Ragbye. There is time for questions and sharing at the end of each session. Beginners and experienced meditators alike are welcome! Attendance is free, to receive the Zoom link, please register.
By training our minds (Tib. lojong) we can learn to cope better with life's challenges and turn any negative circumstances into an opportunity to develop love, compassion and understanding. Acharya Lama Kelzang Wangdi gives an overview of Lojong and guides us in meditations.
