Sundays in October, November and December 201Â – 7 sessions
Overview
In his clear and insightful book, Progressive 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 eight 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.
Live translation and recordings into Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, French and German will be offered, and available to registered participants for 4 weeks.
Lama Tenpa has provided  an excerpt of the first two chapters of his teaching notes on Progressive Stages of Meditation on Emptiness.  The English text is available to download as a PDF document. We plan to have additional translations as soon as they are available.
