Dharma Subhashita conducts a discourse on “Buddha Nature (Sugata-Essence)”

DHARMA SUBHASHITA (Thubten Lekshey Ling) Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Meditation and Study Center (www.dharmasubhashita.org) announces a discourse on, “Buddha Nature (Sugata-Essence)” by Lopon Sonam Tsewang (Namdroling Monastery) at ASHIRVAD, Bangalore on 9th August at 3:00pm.
Admission Free.

Date & Time: 9th August 2008, 3:00pm to 5:30pm

Admission: FREE

In the third and final turning of the wheel of Dharma, Sakyamuni Buddha gave the teachings on the qualities of sa?bodhi (perfect and complete awakening) that already permeates our being as sugata-garbha or tathagata-garbha (The essence of Enlightenment, usually translated as the Buddha Nature). This is the true nature of our mind, the self-arisen awareness that is not stained or defiled by the cloud-like defilements that obstructs its vivid appearance. Just as the gold which is already present in the gold-mine manifests with all its qualities on refinement, Buddhahood with all its qualities already present in us manifests on the removal of obscurations. Sakyamuni Buddha’s teaching on the Sugata-Essence is further explained by Lord Maitreya in Uttaratantra-sastra. Lopon Chogyal Wangdi will be basing his teaching on this text. There will also be a short meditation session along with the teaching.

We conduct meditation classes and spiritual discourses.

Regular classes at the center in Bangalore are taught by experienced teachers from Namdroling, the reputed Buddhist Monastic Institution at Bylakkuppe, Karnataka. Occasionally, we also have special teaching programs by Buddhist masters across traditions. Dharma Subhashita follows the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism as the spiritual practice lineage and upholds the non-sectarian values of the Ri-me’ movement.
