/in /by

This week’s Dharma Talk is entitled Why We Need Virtue: The Seven-Branch Offering Prayer, Part 2 by Lama Kathy Wesley.

According to the Buddha, cultivating virtuous mind states and virtuous words and actions can lead to the experience of wisdom within us. In this talk, we learn the effects of paying homage, making offerings and confessing negativities, and how these counteract pride, greed, and aggression. Based on a chapter in “Words of My Perfect Teacher” by Patrul Rinpoche.
