Geshe Tenzin Zopa returns to Bunbury on Sept 1st and 2nd. He will talk about aspects of the dying process, such as what actually happens at the time of death, how this can be a positive experience, and how to make your death a happy one for yourself and your relatives.

Geshe Zopa is currently touring Australia teaching at FPMT centres. He is always inspirational and has visited us many times before. If you haven’t heard his teachings now is the time to come along. For those who have any queries about death as it is is understood in the Tibetan tradition then please come and learn from a genuine practitioner. Geshe Zopa is approachable and speaks English. He has helped a number of our students deal with grief and dying.

Teachings from the Diamond Cutter Sutra

The Vajra (or Diamond) cutter sutra is a short discourse on the Buddhist concept of emptiness. Ven Jamyang will teach on the verse ” As a star, a visual aberration, a lamp, an illusion, dew, a bubble, a dream, lightning, a cloud, view all the compounded like that.”

She has studied the basic program at CI and the Masters program at Instituto Lama Tsongkapa. She has also completed the requirement of the one year retreat for the Masters program and has given teachings on emptiness.
