Liberating Wisdom
Exploring the Wisdom Teachings
from the Three Principal Aspects of the Path
Special Weekend Course with Kadam Morten Clausen
(Partial booking available)
with a special Valentine Event Friday 7pm-8:30pm
Je Tsongkhapa’s legendary text, The Three Principal Aspects of the Path, is a concise presentation of the entire path to enlightenment. Especially the third aspect—Buddha’s teachings on the wisdom understanding ultimate truth—is presented with extraordinary clarity and startling profundity.
During this weekend, through talks, guided meditations, and discussions, Kadam Morten will guide us in exploring in particular the verses on wisdom. From the point of view of fulfilling our deepest wishes, this wisdom explains everything we need to know—from the everyday to the ultimate!
Topics include:
How can we let go of our unhappy minds?
How can we open our hearts to others and best help them?
How can we experience great joy and meaning in our lives?
What is emptiness, ultimate truth?
How do things actually exist?
How is freedom from suffering attainable?
What is enlightenment?
Taking this wonderful and liberating wisdom to heart will enhance our practice of the spiritual path, both Sutra and Tantra, and open us to a joyful and creative approach to life. In particular, it will empower us to transform all life experiences, including our problems, into our training of the mind so that they propel us along our path to lasting happiness and enlightenment.
Everyone is welcome.
NB: The explanation will be based on Geshe Kelsang’s translation and commentary from his book, The Mirror of Dharma with Additions. (This book is available at the Centre’s shop. E-book & mp3 formats are available to purchase and download from Tharpa Publications Canada site.)

Parking spaces are limited in the area. For this reason, it is easier to come by public transport if this is an option for you.
It is possible to find parking in the nearby streets. However, it is generally not possible to park for more than 3 hours during the day. It is necessary to have a permit in order to park overnight in the area.
Temporary day parking spots nearby: Some options are available for temporary day parking spots nearby, for example with the following companies: Green P Parking, Spot Hero.
Temporary on-street permit parking in Toronto: Provided space is available, a temporary parking permit may be purchased by residents and their guests to park a motor vehicle on a street designated under the permit parking program of the city of Toronto. This program generally services those residential areas where driveways are not common. If you choose this option, please avoid parking on Crawford St. if possible. You may get a ticket as it is complaint driven and the residents have limited space for their own street parking on Crawford St.
