Venerable Sangye Khadro |
Everybody wants to be happy and free of problems. But instead of following our selfish interests, we can become happier people by transforming our usual self-cherishing attitude into a kind heart. Venerable Sangye Khadro will teach on the basis of two short classic texts.
The prayer known as the 'Four Immeasurables' is used to explain the meaning of love, compassion, joy and equanimity.
The 'Eight Verses of Thought Transformation' by Geshe Langri Tangpa explains how we can actually transform our way of thinking from selfishness to loving-kindness by a the very powerful meditation technique of thought transformation (Lojong).
A large part of the course is dedicated to guided meditations to apply this powerful medicine against our own unhappiness and frustration.
This course is suitable for both beginners and experienced students. Venerable Sangye Khadro is a well-known meditation teacher and she teaches in English which is easy to understand.
