Buddhism in a Nut Shell:  The Four Seals of Dharma
With Phakchok Rinpoche
Wednesday, September 30,7:30pm-9:30pm

Open to everyone
Phakchok Rinpoche will give commentary on this foundation of the Buddha’s teachings. Buddhism is marked by four characteristics, or 'seals’, which are closely linked to the 4 Noble Truths.  These seals are all compounded things are impermanent, all stained emotions are painful, all phenomena are empty and nirvana is peace. If all these four seals are found in a path or a philosophy, it can be considered the path of the Buddha.

Advice & Teaching on the Creation Stage
With Phakchok Rinpoche
Friday, October 2, 7:30pm-9:30pm

Open to All Vajrayana Students
In the creation stage of vajrayana practice, practitioners use visualization of buddhas, deities and enlightened realms in order to transcend ordinary concepts of themselves and the world around them. The creation stage prepares the mind for resting in the completion stage, where one has a direct encounter with the ultimate nature of mind and reality. Rinpoche will give practical advice on how to enhance creation stage practice.
