This special 10-day residential course is open to all levels of practitioners: beginners and experienced alike.
We are honoured and delighted that Geshe Tenzin Zopa accepted our request to give for the first time a 10-day course at Tushita!
This special course will be based on the 37 Practices of Bodhisattva, a text by Togmay Sangpo, one of the great bodhisattvas who became an Arya Bodhisattva within a very short period through practising the 37 practices. He then revealed this teaching in a condensed and practical way so that beings like us will be able to immediately apply them in our every day life.
Geshe Tenzin Zopa:
“When we come together for Dharma discourse, it is not simply for fun or to pass our time. It is to extract knowledge as mindfood, not for the sake of intellectual knowledge but solely to benefit others each day, according to one’s best ability until one attains full enlightenment. Our coming together with the right motivation can change the world. To change the world does not mean changing the external world; it means changing your inner world, your own mind, for only then, can you influence and transform the minds of others on the planet. This is the sole purpose for learning the 37 Practices of to Enlightenment, the 37 practices of the Bodhisattvas, without which there is no means by which one can become a Buddha.
This teaching is a special lineage practice undertaken by all the past by great Tibetan yogis and now by His Holiness The Dalai Lama and our Gurus. The 37 Practices are indispensable throughout one’s spiritual life – from the preliminary stages of one’s practice up to and beyond Buddhahood because it is the means by which sentient beings can be helped and guided.
