About this Event
The Monks of Gaden Shartse Phukhang Khangsten have been on a yearlong tour of the US. The main purpose of the tour is to share with all people the monks’ culture, as well as practices of meditation and paths to inner peace and compassion.
The second purpose of tour is construction of a new Khangtsen or dormitory. In our Khangtsen, we had only 120 rooms’ to accommodate 450 monks, with the monks facing the difficulty of sharing one room with three monks. Because of the recurring problems related to the limited rooms encountered by our monks, we have jointly come to the decision to build 60 new rooms to accommodate those elder Geshe for better living standard.
The lecture will be given by Geshe Lharampa Tsering Dawa who is the translator for the group. He is a wonderful speaker and able to take complex Buddhist principals and related them to a Western audience easily. There is no better topic at the present moment than Patience and Compassion. There will be a lecture, a short meditation and time for question and answer. Don't miss this wonderful opportunity to be in the presence of these special beings who devote their lives to service and prayer for the benefit of all sentient beings.
