WHY BUDDHISM MATTERS

Service Description

Nyima Tashi is pleased to announce the introduction of a series of monthly practice sessions with teachings given by the 9th Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche. Our second installment of talks is entitled Why Buddhism Matters , there will also be an opportunity for Yoga and Meditation. "According to Buddhism, we are entrapped, we are bound, we are imprisoned. And where does this bondage lie? It lies in our experiences. Through not being able to deal with our experiences properly, by not understanding our experiences properly, we become entrapped. Often we don't even know that we are entrapped or that we are imprisoned. We may in fact think that this prison is our home. Also that this world that we are immersed in is a source of discomfort, "dis-ease," suffering, pain, frustration, violence. As the Buddha said in his teachings, "the world is on fire." So we have to think about putting the fire out. The world is aflame; it is not a comfortable place to be in." These teachings were given by Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche at E-Vam Buddhist Institute, Melbourne, Australia. Registration Essential - No ZOOM option available
