“To have the opportunity to practise this precious and profound teaching is infinitely more meaningful than being given all the precious jewels in the world.”
– Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche
This Thursday series will be based on Geshe Kelsang Gyatso’s book Universal Compassion: Inspiring Solutions for Difficult Times.
Gen Kelsang Rinzin will provide practical instructions showing how to transform even the most difficult daily life experiences into opportunities for spiritual growth through developing and enhancing minds of universal love and compassion. Ancient meditative techniques that have been tried and tested for centuries are brought alive and made relevant to our everyday experiences.
