Rinpoche will be giving this teaching every other Thursday night and everyone is welcome. There are no fees for the teachings but donations are most welcome. Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life: These teachings on the bodhisattva's deeds are based on the great Indian master Shantideva's inspirational verses on Mahayana aspiration and practice. In the whole of Tibetan Buddhism there is no single text more deeply revered nor widely practiced than this one. Everyone is welcome. All the teachings will be translated into the Chinese and Vietnamese language. Those wishing translation services should bring their own FM radio. All the teachings are free but any amount of donation will be greatly appreciated. Everyone is welcome. Four-Armed Chenrezig Empowerment: Chenrezig (Avalokiteshvara) is the embodiment of all the Buddhas' infinite compassion. Reciting his six syllable mantra OM MANI PADME HUNG every day with strong faith and devotion will help us develop love and compassion. Receiving this empowerment is a prerequisite for those students who wish to do the fasting retreat or the Nyung-Nye practice. Please avoid meat, alcohol, garlic, onion and eggs before the empowerment. Everyone is welcome. This event will take place at the DharmaGates, Center.
