It’s all your karma. What does that mean? Is your life all planned out and going according to your Karma? Does this mean you have to just accept everything? Are you able to take control and influence your life circumstances? What is the difference between good karma and bad karma? Khentrul Rinpoche explains in a very accessible way the meaning of Karma while clarifying the common misconceptions of karma. Rinpoche will help clarify how karma relates to the Buddhist concept of Merit.
6-Week online course with Khentrul Rinpoche. There are hundreds of vows in Buddhism between all the vehicles. Upon entering the path, it may seem daunting to keep them all. Vows are like learning to ride a bike. At first it may seem difficult to do it, but once you are in the habit they happen automatically.
Khentrul Rinpoche will give teachings to help us ascertain the essence of the vows. When we understand the essence then it is easier to keep the full array. He will help us understand how we can use our mind to understand them in degrees and work to keep them all. It may seem confusing as if the Pratimoksha and tantric vows are contradictory. Rinpoche explains the non-contradictory nature of maintaining the vows of the 3 vehicles.
Practical Teaching Includes:
Pratimoksha Vows
Bodhisattva Vows
Tantric Vows
25 Shambhala Warrior Conducts (Kalachakra Vows)
There will be plenty of opportunity for questions, discussions and sharing throughout the day.
The First Class is Publicly available to everyone to give you the idea of what is in the rest of the class.
Languages Rinpoche will be teaching in English.
Translations Portuguese, Cantonese, Italian, Spanish and Mandarin. Additional languages may be added. Translations are only available for live attendees.
