Description
One of the clearest presentations of the Path to Enlightenment is a short poem called The Three Principal Aspects of the Path, composed 600 years ago by the extraordinary Spiritual Guide and founder of the New Kadampa lineage, Je Tsongkhapa.
In a mere fifteen verses, Je Tsongkhapa distils the vastness of the Buddhist stages of the path to enlightenment to three essential realizations, or experiential understandings. Gaining experience of these three – renunciation, bodhichitta, and the wisdom realizing emptiness – will provide us with the methods we need to transform every aspect of our life into opportunities for our inner development and spiritual growth.
On this day course, Gen Kelsang Leksang will take us on a spiritual journey, step-by-step through the development of each of these three understandings, based on the commentary by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche in his most recent book, The Mirror of Dharma (with Additions).
Join us for this special explanation of the Buddhist path to Enlightenment
On this course you will learn:
- How to develop a mind of renunciation – non-attachment
- How to develop the supreme Good Heart – Bodhichitta
- How to free your mind from ignorance through understanding ultimate truth
This course is particularly suitable for those with some experience or a deep interest in the Buddhist path to Enlightenment.
The course will consist of three sessions, exploring each of the three principal aspects of the path
There will also be opportunities to relax in the breaks and ask questions.
