Buddha House is extremely fortunate to have our own precious Geshe Pema Tsering who faultlessly teaches and lives the Buddha’s teachings. In this article, Geshela kindly tells his remarkable life story…

Tuesdays at 7.15 pm with Geshe Pema Tsering - The Way of the Bodhisattva by the great 8th century Buddhist master Shantideva, is the clearest and most comprehensive text ever written on how to become a Bodhisattva and implement these trainings in our daily lives. For the past 1200 years it has formed the basis of Mahayana Buddhist practice in India & Tibet.

Thursday Evenings: 6 pm to 9.30 pm. The current module within the Lam Rim covers the training of beings of the small scope. In the fourth 10-week module, which begins on October 9, we will look at karma: actions and their results. This could be an ideal time to join the program.

This comprehensive and structured program of Buddhist studies will interest committed students who wish to progress beyond introductory-level study and practice and who are ready to commit themselves to long-term study.

The curriculum is taught by Geshe Pema Tsering and is supported by a program of meditation practice, discussion and examination, supervised by qualified Western teachers and senior students.

Sunday Mornings: 10.30 am to noon. Covers the Mahayana path with uncommon clarity, and is for this reason much quoted by many great Tibetan masters. It is considered to be a monument in the Indian buddhist tradition, and we are very fortunate that Geshe-la kindly has suggested to teach on this text. These classes are suitable for all and can be joined at any time.
