In his clear and insightful book, Progessive Stages of Meditation on Emptiness, Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche teaches the main schools of Tibetan Buddhist philosophy and their progressively more subtle and refined views of reality.
In this series of seven Sunday classes, Lama Tenpa will discuss the different philosophical views described by Khenpo Rinpoche and present a means to realize these views through a series of meditation practices. The practices are progressive. When a practice is fully understood, it prepares the mind for the next stage of practice.
Classes will be recorded in English and available to registered participants for 4 weeks.
There will be live translation and recordings into Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, French and German.
