Our Path
We practice Mahayana Buddhism, which presents a path to acquire the compassion and wisdom to be of true help. To achieve this goal we study and practice various topics based on the "Lam Rim," the gradual path of sequential topics to be studied, contemplated, and finally actualized: Lam Rim: Initial Stage • Our Precious Human Life • Death and Impermanence • Refuge in the Three Jewels • Karma: Actions and Effects Lam Rim: Medium Stage • The Four Noble Truths • General Suffering of Samsara • The Specific Sufferings of Samsara • 12 Links of Dependent Origination Lam Rim: Highest Stage • Developing Equanimity • Seeing All Beings as One's Mother • Recalling The Kindness of Mothers • The Kindness of All Others • Equalizing Self and Other • Exchanging Self and Other • Tonglen: Taking and Giving • Great Compassion & Bodhichitta • Tranquil Abiding Mind • Emptiness of Phenomena • Selflessness of Persons • Loving Kindness Meditation > * LEARN MORE ABOUT LAM RIM |
2024 Classes:
Nagarjuna’s Precious Garland Sundays at 11:00 am. In person & via Zoom Facilitated by Christopher Moroney Our Teacher Geshe Lobsang Nima has suggested that we continue our Dharma studies with Precious Garland of Advice to a King, written by one of India’s greatest Buddhist philosophical thinkers and dharma practitioners, Nagarjuna. Geshe la says that since we have already studied Shantideva’s Bodhicharyavatara, we are qualified to study Nagarjuna’s Precious Garland. This text serves as the source of Shantideva’s text and is an exposition of both the method and wisdom aspects of the path. Geshe Nima believes we will acquire much knowledge and insight from studying Precious Garland. > Link to Download Text
