Geshe Sherab will deliver a commentary on Lama Je Tsongkapa’s “Song of Experience”. These verses are a condensed presentation of the whole Lam Rim Chenmo: short and easy to digest. They show how we can become a more loving person, with a more peaceful mind, through following the practices of the path, thus ultimately ensuring that our lives have meaning.  This is a LiveStream Event  Sunday 29th November 2020 7am-9am Western Australian Time

What happens to us at the time of death, and when we transition through the Bardo? What do the visions, hallucinations and feelings mean? How can we create a good rebirth? We can prepare for these states through a number of powerful meditation practices, so that we can overcome our fear at the time of death. These will also help us to live better lives, and support others as they die. This is a LiveStream Event  Sunday 22nd November 2020 7am-9am Western Australian Time 

“As a star, a visual aberration, a lamp, an illusion, dew, a bubble, a dream, lightning, and a cloud - view all the compounded like that” In this sutra, Subhuti asks the Buddha how one should practice and control one’s mind. The Vajra Cutter Sutra captures Buddha’s answer, touching extensively on the ‘wisdom gone beyond’: the only way to truly free ourselves from the causes of our suffering. Geshe Thubten Sherab will be teaching on this profound sutra for Australian FPMT centres.  Geshe-la is a highly respected and experienced international teacher, whose tours in Australia have earned him a reputation as warm, wise and accessible. He teaches in fluent and excellent English.  Teaching screened on Lhabab Duchen, Saturday 7th November 2020. 10am - 12 midday Western Australian Time
