Letter to a Friend - Starts Soon
|
 Sunday Mornings: 10.30 am to noon. (Begins approximately late in August). 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.

August 15, 22, 29, September 5, 12, 19, 26, October 3
Our second speaker is Robert Hattam, who is an Associate Professor at the Hawke Research Institute in the University of South Australia. Robert will be giving a series of talks on how we might think about Buddhism in terms of a tradition that is socially engaged rather than world-denying. He will draw on scriptural sources, and cases of famous socially-engaged Buddhists such as His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Thich Naht Hanh and Sulak Sivaraksa

In the past it has been FPMT policy to not provide comment or political actions on regarding the Chinese occupation of Tibet. Such actions were left for individuals to pursue. Due to the incredibly serious and urgent nature of recent events in Tibet, Lama Zopa Rinpoche has now reversed this position.

Buddha House
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.
