The Bodhisattva's Way of Life
How to Enjoy a Life of Altruism ~ Special Weekend Course with Guest Teacher Gen Kelsang Demo
Many people have the compassionate wish to benefit others, but few understand how to accomplish this successfully in daily life. Bodhisattvas are friends of the world, who have such strong compassion that they are able to transform all their daily activities into ways of benefitting others. The path of the Bodhisattva is contained within a practice called the six perfections. In this course we will learn practical ways to apply the six perfections in & out of meditation. This is essential advice for those wishing to follow a way of life characterized by greater empathy and compassion for others. No previous experience of Buddhism or meditation is required. Everyone is welcome!

We now have accommodations available near our Temple for those taking part in our classes, courses, meditation retreats and other events. A wonderful way to experience the Temple's programming is to stay nearby in our comfortable Dharma Guest House and enjoy some quiet time in a place conducive to spiritual practice. Take some time between sessions to rest and relax, or read, study, contemplate and meditate.
We have a variety of rooms available for those taking part in our events. You can reserve either a single room, a twin room (two beds), a bed in a shared dorm or a private retreat apartment.
The Dharma Guest House has limited spaces. We recommend that you submit your request for bookings well in advance.
