“Songs of Spiritual Experience” by Lama Tsongkhapa Teaching and Transmission with H.E. Khen Rinpoche Geshe Jigme Gyatso
Saturday, Aug 17, 1-3pm and Sunday, Aug 18, 10am-Noon and 1-3pm, In-Person or via Zoom
Lama Tsongkhapa’s short composition, Songs of Spiritual Experience, is powerful encouragement to make the most of our lives. Renouncing the mistaken, temporary pleasures of this life is the first step to paving the way to spiritual realizations that arise from transforming our minds and that lead to ultimate happiness. Songs of Spiritual Experience, part of the lam rim tradition, offers a guided roadmap to Enlightenment that all can follow at one’s own pace. DGCEC offers this special teaching for the benefit of all who are interested. Sliding Scale: $60, $80, $100, or Sponsor Level - $250. A simple lunch is provided on Sunday, Aug 18. Some scholarships are available. REGISTER HERE.
