Sunday teachings with Geshe-la at the Buddhist Centre
Each Sunday our resident spiritual teacher Ven. Geshe Sangey Thinley – fondly known as ‘Geshe-la’ gives a teaching and spiritual advice based on a life time of training and knowledge.
All Welcome
The class and talk is open to anyone who wishes to attend. Classes are translated through Skype by Virginia Blum who is based in New York or Anton Weiersmuller who is based in Auckland. Teachings can also be attended through Skype for those wishing to attend from a distance. Please get in touch with Kaari: dharma@igrin.co.nz if you wish to do this.
After the teachings there is time for questions and a cup of tea.
On the first Sunday of each month (roughly) we have a Centre Community and Karma Yoga day – where after teachings we have a shared lunch and work together on projects around the centre.

TO REGISTER PLEASE GO TO OUR WEB-SITE: http://mandala.org.nz/programme/teachings-events-courses/ You can also find a PDF of the Thirty-Seven Practices here.
The Thirty-Seven Practices where written in the Fourteenth century by Gyelsay Togmay Sangpo. “Recognizing their true potential and letting go of everything which could hinder them on their spiritual journey, Bodhisattvas entrust themselves to the path taught by the Buddha. Resisting disturbing emotions, they learn to respond to difficult situations in a constructive way. Fully understanding the nature of reality and the illusion-like nature of pleasure and pain, they overcome clinging attachment and aversion. In these ways, Bodhisattvas come to cherish living beings as the source of all happiness and are ultimately able to work solely for the good of all.” Geshe Sonam Rinchen.
By learning these practices it is possible for us to see how we can transform our actions, feelings, and ways of thinking.
Donations/koha of $5 per night, to assist with costs appreciated.
