Wisdom for the Heart: Seeing Clearly, Living Freely

Wisdom for the Heart: Seeing Clearly, Living Freely

According to Tibetan Buddhism, the root of our struggle lies in four subtle, yet powerful misperceptions: we see what is impermanent as lasting, what is unsatisfactory as fulfilling, what is impure as beautiful, and what is selfless as solid and real. These “four wrong concepts” quietly shape how we relate to our lives, our relationships, and ourselves. To counteract these, the Buddha offered four profound insights known as the Four Seals. In this course, we gently bridge these two—moving from distorted perception to liberating insight—exploring how correcting these four deep misunderstandings through an understanding of the four seals transforms not just our thinking, but our heart.

The Magic of Masters: Walking the Three Principles of the Path Through Living Examples

*Please Note times are in EDT for this Online Course

What makes a master extraordinary? Not miracles, but transformation. In this five-week course, we explore the lives of the great lineage masters as living expressions of the Three Principles of the Path — renunciation, bodhicitta, and the wisdom realizing emptiness. Through the stories of masters such as Milarepa and Shakyamuni Buddha, the path becomes personal, embodied, and deeply inspiring.

Through short teachings, meditation and contemplating these life stories we bring the possibility of the path and awakening within our reach.

Long Life Prayers for His Holiness, The Dalai Lama and Gyumed Khensur Rinpoche

Many of the great masters have said that doing Long Life Prayer for your Guru is the best way to accumulate merit and purification practice. We think this is not late, but rather a very good time to do these Long Life Prayers as both His Holiness and Gyumed Khensur Rinpoche are involved in so many dharma activities, and teachings and they are in their older years.
