Saturday Teaching
3:30 – 5:00 pm
Geshe Rapgyal offers a teaching most Saturday afternoons, with the exception of the third Saturday when he leads a meditation retreat.
These Saturday teachings, covering a wide range of topics over the course of the year, provide a strong foundation for beginning and experienced Buddhist practitioners alike.
Geshela teaches in Tibetan, and Tenam interprets in English.
All are welcome to attend.
Sunday Teaching
10:00 am - Noon
Each Sunday Geshe Rapgyal teaches from a respected text by Buddha Shakyamuni or a Great Master, offering careful commentary on it and providing illumination and applications.
He works through a single text over many months. Geshela teaches in Tibetan which is translated to English by Tenam.
All are welcome to attend, even those new to Buddhist practice. Insights are accessible whenever one listens with an open heart and mind.
A donation, though not required, both respects the gift of the Dharma shared through our teacher and makes it possible to maintain the Dharma Center.
