Choe Khor Sum Ling Centre, a Tibetan Buddhist      Meditation & Study Centre, is pleased to announce  the beginning of a new weekend course –  ’Introduction to Buddhist psychology: Mind &  Mental Factors’ on June 26, 2011.

The great Tibetan master Gon-pa-wa said, “To  eliminate disturbing emotions, you must know their  faults, their characteristics, their remedies, and the causes for their arising. Once you know the root and secondary afflictions, then when any attachment, hostility, or such arises in your mind-stream, you can identify it thinking , “this is that, now it has arisen – and fight the disturbing emotion.”
The course is based on a text written by the great 18th century Tibetan master Kachen Yeshe Gyeltsen, following Abhidharma tradition of Buddhist thought. It will provide a detailed overview of the mind and the various virtuous and non-virtuous mental and emotional states that color and control it, which are known as the 51 mental factors. It will offer a practical guide on how to cultivate virtuous mental states and how to weaken and eventually abandon the disturbing emotions, the key to lasting peace and well-being.
The course will be conducted by English-speaking monks from Sera Jey Monastic University ~biweekly on Sunday afternoons from 4 PM to 6 PM.
The course is free and open to everyone. It is suitable for beginners as well as advanced students of Tibetan Buddhism.

Venue: Choe Khor Sum Ling Centre, Ashwini, No. 24, 1st floor, 3rd Main St, Domlur Layout 1st stage, Bangalore 560071.

Choe Khor Sum Ling, a Tibetan Buddhist Meditation & Study Centre, cordially invites everyone to a very special event, a teaching by Jangtse Choje Rinpoche Lobsang Tenzin on “The Foundation of All Good Qualities” and a Wisdom Empowerment on June 19, Sunday.

The meditation practice of Manjushri, the Buddha of Wisdom, is one of the most powerful methods to increase one’s wisdom, an essential quality on the path to spiritual enlightenment. In order to fully engage in Manjushri meditation practice, one first requires initiation from a qualified master to receive blessings of the unbroken lineage of the realized practitioners.
As a preliminary teaching to the initiation, Jangtse Choje Rinpoche will give a commentary on Lama Tsongkhapa’s “The Foundation of all the Good Qualities,” a concise text that contains all the essential points of Buddhism. The commentary will include explanations of the nature of samsara and nirvana, compassion, and the ultimate nature of reality.

Jangtse Choje Rinpoche Lobsang Tenzin holds the second highest position in the Tibetan Buddhist Gelug Tradition. Rinpoche is one of the most respected teachers in this tradition who served as an abbot of Gyume monastery, now located in Hunsur district of Karnataka. Rinpoche is renowned as a great scholar and is called upon to teach in many places in North America, Europe and Asia. Aware of his profound qualities, His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama requested that Rinpoche maintain his permanent residence at Sera Jey Monastic University in Karnataka, to serve as one of the principal teachers to bring forth the new generation of scholars-practitioners.
Rinpoche is a very special teacher, a great scholar and a very humble person, highly respected by HH the Dalai Lama and loved by his students who affectionately call him Gen Drubtop la – a teacher who has attained realizations.

The preliminary teaching is open to all. Those taking the initiation should have faith and respect in the guru conferring the initiation and have a basic understanding of Buddhist teachings. The commitment for receiving the initiation is refuge and Bodhisattva vows. Participants should avoid eating meat, eggs, onions and garlic the day of the initiation.

Schedule: June 19, 2011, Sunday
10.00 AM – 12.15 PM – Teaching on “The Foundation of All Good Qualities”
12.15 PM – 12.45 PM – tea-break & snacks
12.45 PM – 2.00 PM – Wisdom Empowerment (Manjushri Initiation)

Entry is free and open to everyone.

In our busy modern lives, we may not give much thought to death. We fear that thinking about death will take the joy out of living. But in reality, when we actively think about death and prepare for it, we find peace, fulfillment, and happiness in our current lives and our fear of death disappears. The death is accepted as a part of the ongoing cycle of life.

For those interested in learning more about death & dying from the Tibetan Buddhist perspective, Choe Khor Sum Ling is introducing a new course – ‘The Heart Advice for Death & Dying’.
The course will be comprised of 4-5 monthly sessions and will be conducted by Venerable Gyalten Rabten, a Buddhist monk from Sera Jey Monastic University.

• Developing healthy realistic attitudes about death
• Introduction to the 9-point meditation on death
• Dealing with disturbing emotions regarding death
• Preparing for death
• Tong-len practice

• Helping others who are dying
The sessions will be followed by discussions and guided meditation on the topics covered. The course is suitable for beginners as well as advanced students in Buddhism.

When: the first session is to be held on December 5, 2010, from 10 AM till 1 PM.

Weekend Nuts Smiley Day with Needy Children - 10th Oct 2010

Choe Khor Sum Ling, a Tibetan Buddhist Meditation & Study Centre, is organizing a very special event: on September 8-10, 2010, Geshe Dorji Damdul will give a teaching on the most profound concept of the Buddhist philosophy – Emptiness & Interdependent Arising.
Over three evenings Geshe Dorji Damdul will give teachings on interdependent-arising and emptiness, the true nature of reality. Geshe la will explain how by seeing the ultimate reality of all existence one can attain freedom from the sufferings of samsara.
These teachings will be based on the 24^th chapter of The Fundamental Wisdom of the Middle Way (Mulamadhyamakakarika) composed by Arya Nagarjuna, one of the foremost scholars of ancient Nalanda University. In this text Nagarjuna playfully shows the absurdities that we fall into if we interpret emptiness as meaning nothingness, or reject emptiness in favor of permanence.
Geshe Dorji Damdul is one of the official translators of His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama. He is a popular and respected teacher, particularly for his teachings on emptiness, a distinguished Buddhist scholar, whose interest lies in the relation between Buddhism and science, especially in physics. Geshe la has participated in several of the renowned conferences entailing dialogues between His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama and western scientists organized by Mind and Life Institute.
Currently Geshe la serves as a Deputy Director of Tibet House, New Delhi, where he gives lectures and leads philosophy classes and meditation retreats. Geshe la travels widely in India and abroad to teach Buddhist philosophy and practice.

Schedule:      Wednesday, September 8, 2010 – Friday, September 10, 2010
