Review Sessions

Of His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s Teachings

with Venerable Legtsok

August 4 – 6, 2020

5:00 – 6:00pm (IST)

His Holiness the Dalai Lama will give online teachings with Q & A on Tsongkhapa’s “In Praise of Dependent Origination” on August 4 – 6 @ 9:00 – 10:30am 

Tushita does NOT organise or host His Holiness the Dalai Lama (HHDL)’s Online Teachings (we wish!), so see HHDL’s own website for further information about those.

Tushita’s Review Sessions provide an excellent opportunity to discuss and explore some potentially difficult topics that His Holiness taught on that day, and may be particularly helpful for newcomers to Tibetan Buddhist philosophy who hope to enhance their understanding of His Holiness’ teachings.

You can join us on Zoom Meeting or Tushita’s Facebook page. For those who cannot make it live the recordings will be available on Youtube. (There is a limited capacity in the Zoom meeting, so in case you would not be able to connect, please follow us live on the Facebook page)

They will be led by Venerable Tenzin Legtsok, who is in the seventeenth year of the Geshe Studies Program at Sera Jey Monastic University in South India, where he studies classic Indian Buddhist treatise and their Tibetan commentaries in the tradition of ancient Nalanda University.

About the text:
Je Tsongkhapa (1357-1419), the author of The Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment and the teacher of the First Dalai Lama, is renowned as one of the greatest scholar-saints that Tibet has ever produced. He composed his poetic In Praise of Dependent Origination the very morning that he abandoned all doubts about – the final view and attained a clear realization of emptiness, the essence of wisdom. Deeply moved by this experience, his gratitude to Shakyamuni Buddha increased exponentially inspiring him to compose a praise to Buddha for having taught dependent origination, the main reasoning which establishes that all phenomena are empty of inherent existence.
