Practicing Mahayana Buddhism: Sutra and Tantra

with Jimi Neal

September 10 – 13, 2020

Thursday & Friday: 3:00 – 4:30pm (IST)

Saturday & Sunday: 5:00 – 6:30pm (IST)

In this course we will go through the lam rim outline from guru devotion, precious human birth and death, up to the Unified Vajra state: enlightenment. Lama Yeshe’s “Introduction to Tantra” will be a source for tantra. We will learn how to practice a basic sadhana based on the Chenrezig tantra.

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)
