Essence of Refined Gold by the Third Dalai Lama

One 9-week series:

• Thursdays, April 24, May 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, June 5, 12, 19

You can’t contemplate or meditate on the Dharma without first hearing teachings, but if you live in a remote area or far from your teacher, what to do?

Ven. Chodron offers one 9-week series of “tele-teachings," accessible via internet or conference call, on Thursdays evenings at 6:00 Pacific time.
Essence of Refined Gold, by the Third Dalai Lama, is a classic lamrim text, which concisely details the steps of the graduated path.  Ven. Chodron has been teaching on this text for over a year. She just completed the Perfection of Meditation so will be teaching next on the Perfection of Wisdom.

Since we have limited number of phone connections, a $90 deposit is required to reserve your place on the phone calls. We have instituted this procedure to help minimize the number of no-shows and last minute cancellations. Your deposit can be returned (at your request) at the end of the series.
