The Great Chantmaster of Gyuto Monastery Lobsang Tsering will
offer a series of teachings on the theme of
'Understanding Happiness'
7.30 - 9.00pm Tuesdays, 4 & 11 and Thursdays, 6 & 13
June.
Public program thro'
Queen's Birthday Long-weekend
From 10.00 am daily.
In a series of six evening and
three afternoon sessions, the Great Chantmaster of Gyuto Tantric
University, Lobsang Tsering, will deliver his final 2002 Australian
talks on Buddhist Philosophy and Meditation Practice.
He has chosen to expound on the
concept of 'Understanding Happiness' for those who seek guidance
in managing their daily lives and also as a follow up to the
wisdom imparted by His Holiness the Dalai Lama during his recent
visit to Victoria.
Buddhism states clearly that there is no unilateral means of
understanding reality without depending on certain accepted conventions
for living. In this series of talks, therefore, the Great Chantmaster
Lobsang Tsering will explain the meaning of happiness in the
context of the four principles of nature, interdependence, function
and causality.
The Gyuto Monks will also lead
a Puja featuring the 21 Tara Praise and Long Life Prayer for
His Holiness the Dalai Lama - everyone is welcome to participate
and will be provided with the appropriate texts.
Special Schools Program
Following the successful program last September, the Gyuto Monks
also return to offer a special Schools Program.
All are welcome to school sessions between 9.30am - 3.00pm during
the week.
Special Performance Details:
Following their magnificent appearance at the Tribute Concert
for His Holiness the Dalai Lama at the Sydney Opera House, join
the Gyuto Monks for their final Chanting Performance this tour
- the famous and very necessary 'Excess Baggage' Concert
Date: Saturday 15th June
Time: 7.30pm
Location: Quang Minh Temple
Donations at Door from 6.30 on the night: $15
N.B. As refugees living in India,
the monks gather shoes and clothes to take back for the young
orphan monks in the monastery, the old teacher monks and friends
and families living in Tibetan settlement camps. This incurs
substantial expense in relation to excess baggage - all donations
will help towards this effort.
