Mind Training is a practice in the Buddhist tradition based on a set of proverbs formulated in Tibet in the 12th century by Chekawa. Through the practice we undertake to connect with our world in an unconditionally positive way, and also to take full responsibility for our experience of it. The Seven Points comprise a complete practice, with instructions and guidance that cover all the essential points of Mahayana Buddhism.
Venerable Geshe Gyaltsen la is the spiritual director and founder of Thubten Dhargye Ling in Long Beach and has also been on the Board of Directors of the Gyuto Center since the Center began 2001.
Geshe-la is known for his great compassion and personal warmth; yet he retains a very traditional and uncompromising approach to teaching the Dharma. His strength of vision and devotion to his practice transcend time and culture, and he continues to inspire his students with the legacy he has brought from Tibet.

Good Life & Good Death
by Gelek Rinpoche
Sunday, Jan. 18 at 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm 2009
Milpitas Community Center
457 East Calaveras Boulevard
Milpitas, CA 95035
We are pleased to announce that Gelek Rinpoche has kindly accepted our invitation. Rinpoche will be giving a talk in San Jose on Sunday, January 18 2009 at the Milpitas Community Center.
Born in Lhasa, Tibet, in 1939, Gelek Rinpoche was recognized as an incarnate lama at the age of four. Carefully tutored from an early age by some of Tibets greatest living masters, Rinpoche gained renown for his powers of memory, intellectual judgment and penetrating insight. As a small child living in a monks cell in a country with no electricity or running water, and little news of the outside world, he had scoured the pictures of torn copies of Life Magazine for anything he could gather about America. Now Rinpoche brings his life experience and wisdom to both the east and the west.
In 1988, Rinpoche founded Jewel
Heart, a Tibetan Buddhist Center. His Collected Works now include over 32
transcripts of his teachings, numerous articles as well as the national
bestseller Good Life, Good Death (Riverhead Books 2001) and the Tara Box:
Rituals for Protection and Healing from the Female Buddha (New World
Library 2004).
Please kindly register on our
website www.gyutocenter.org if you are really coming.
A suggested donation of $20
towards Rinpoche's airfare, hall rental and other expenses
