New Year Weekend


Samsara and Nirvana:
Two Sides of the Same Hand

A rare opportunity has arrived: to meet and receive instruction from a
wonderful Tibetan lama in Gainesville for the New Year weekend.

December 31, 2011 and Jan 1, 2012

9:30 am to 12 and 2 pm to 5 pm each day


Khenchen Konchog Gyaltshen is an authentic lineage teacher, a well-respected scholar and is world renown, as both a high lama for thousands of Tibetan monks in monasteries and Buddhist colleges as well as lay people all over the world. He teaches Buddhist philosophy in English, without the need for a translator, which is rare among lamas of his generation and personal experience.  Khenchen is considered a Doctor of Philosophy and has published many books, translations of ancient texts and his own works. He is one of the world’s bests Tibetan dharma translators and practitioners.  Many have inquired as to how to find a good teacher. This is how… Go see them for yourself.

 

If you have ever had an interest in Buddhist philosophy, Khenchen Konchog Gyaltshen is not to be missed in person.  He was in Gainesville in 1999, 2001 and 2007.  We are very privileged to get him back to Florida.

 

Samsara means endless suffering, cyclic existence, perpetual wandering, and transmigration of birth, old age, sickness and death of each person’s lifetime. It includes the sources of our daily burdens and struggles.

 

Nirvana means blowing out or extinguishing and is used in the context of unbinding or extinguishing suffering. Nirvana is also characterized by a concept translated most commonly into English as 'enlightenment'. This is considered in terms of being fully awake to the true nature of reality.
