TEACHINGS AVAILABLE IN-PERSON AND ON ZOOM
Our minds are our greatest inner resource. If we care for them, we will have inner stability, a sense of well-being, and a potential for transcendent happiness.
Lama Karma Drodhul, a Tibetan Buddhist teacher and past president of our “home” monastery, Karma Triyana Dharmachakra, will describe the mind’s journey through life, death, and rebirth, and show us how to navigate with gratitude, mindfulness, and grace.
The teachings will review Buddhist teachings on the Six Bardos – phases of life, death, rebirth, and the gaps (or “bardos”) in between. This program is excellent for all learners and includes meditation instructions, question and answer periods, and more.
SPECIAL TALK ON FRIDAY! In addition to the weekend program on the Bardo, on Friday night March 1, Lama Karma will give a free-standing talk on The Mahamudra Lineage, the 1000-year-old lineage of Tibetan Buddhism taught at KTC.
All are welcome!
ALL PROGRAMS ARE IN-PERSON at the Columbus KTC Center, 645 W. RIch Street, Columbus, OH.
