Healing With Compassion

with Venerable Legtsok

April 20 – 25, 2020 (plus Bonus Day for Sponsors on Sunday, April 26th)

https://tushita.info/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Healing-With-Compassion_small.mp4

 

It’s like the world has turned upside down. In the midst of so much sickness, uncertainty and hardship what can we do for the well-being of ourselves and others?

All actions begin in our own minds. Compassion is an attitude that unflinchingly looks at the misery there is and resolves to do whatever we can to end it. Compassion gives us courage, hope, resilience, a sense of purpose, and most of all connects us to all others in a way that comforts and uplifts them.

In this course combining instruction, meditation and group discussions, we will explore ways to use the current world situation as a powerful catalyst for deepening our innate compassion and focusing our lives in the best ways we can to benefit ourselves and others.

Teacher

Tenzin Legtsok is in the sixteenth 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. For more, see Ven. Legtsok’s full bio.

About Tushita

Tushita is a centre for the study and practice of Buddhism from the Tibetan Mahayana tradition. We're located in Northern India, in the forested hills above the town of McLeod Ganj, Dharamsala - the seat in exile of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.

Tushita aims to provide a friendly and conducive environment for people of all nationalities and backgrounds to learn about and put into practice the teachings of the Buddha. With this in mind we offer regular drop-in events and courses on introductory Buddhist philosophy and meditation, as well as intermediate level courses and group retreats for more experienced students.
