Evening Teaching Series Baraboo No Time to Waste: Understanding Why You Are Really Here September 17th, Friday, 7-8:30 pm Café of Life, 701 Ash St. What is the purpose of life? Why are you really here? Understanding deeply the answers to these questions allows us to live with intention, direction and purpose and prevents us from wasting time on meaningless activities. His Holiness the Dalai Lama stated, "If you investigate the purpose of life, and with the motivation that results from this inquiry, develop a good heart...each day will become useful and meaningful." Join Rinpoche for a joyful investigation of these important questions and learn why you are really here.

All-Day Seminar: Taking All Beings to Your Heart (Tonglen) September 18th,Saturday, 10 am-5 pm Blue Mounds, Wisconsin Joyful Path Healing Center, 11000 Division St. Many great beings who devoted their lives to alleviating the suffering of others - Mother Theresa, Mahatma Gandhi, Jesus, the Buddha - were models of great altruistic compassion. Today we are confronted with many, sometimes contradictory, messages about how we should love. "You must love yourself. Stop being so selfish. Don't let others take advantage of you." What is the correct view of compassion that will allow us to be of true benefit to others and to the world? To find out, come learn about Tonglen - a powerful compassion practice that increases our inner strength and courage, loosens the hold of selfishness and allows us to develop unbiased compassion for healing ourselves and others.

other Upcoming Events in Wisconsin Conscious End-of-Life Training Saturday September 11, 10:00am - 5:00pm The Conscious End-of-Life Training Program offers a dynamic, fresh approach to end-of-life care under the direction of Domo Geshe Rinpoche, a western reincarnate lama in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Although key elements of these original teachings are based on ancient Buddhist principles, this unique program is open to and appropriate for hospice professionals, volunteers, and others-regardless of their personal spiritual orientation. Presented in sequential modules, four levels of training are designed to engage students in a process of exploration and discovery that both enhances their end-of-life care-giving skills and prepares them for their own end of life. The awareness and understanding gained from the teachings allow students to become increasingly capable of providing high-quality and careful energetic spiritual support to others, as well as overcoming their innate fear of death in order to live more fully and to prepare for their own "grand transition". This training includes the following: * Lectures and discussion on key concepts and principles necessary for effective care-giving (includes video presentation and group interaction) Level-One training highlights: * What is, and what is not, "end-of-life" (beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors) |
