DEALING
WITH EMOTIONS
Our life is like riding on a roller
coaster: a moment high with happiness, and the next drowning with
sorrow and anger. While we are actively seeking happiness, yet
happiness seems to be so elusive. Why are we experiencing such ups
and downs? What causes our moodiness? Can we have a better control
of these emotions? Is it possible to develop a more stable and
peaceful state of mind? Come join us to explore these issues
together from the Buddhist's perspective.

LAMA
TSONGKHAPA'S ABBREVIATED POINTS OF THE PATH TO
ENLIGHTENMENT
Besides the extensive "Stages of the
Path to Enlightenment" (Lamrim Chenmo) and the "Middle Length
Lamrim", Lama Tsongkhapa captured the essence of the
lamrim in "The Abbreviated Points of the Graded Path" in
twenty-five concise verses. Be guided step by step through these
precise yet profound teachings in which Lama Tsongkhapa expressed
his direct experience of the entire path of practice, from
developing guru devotion up to entering the tantric path. This is a
text where those with an interest to practise the Path to
Enlightenment can begin to take Lama Tsongkhapa's pith instructions
to heart.

STAGES OF
THE PATH TO ENLIGHTENMENT – Ongoing
This is an in-depth study of the
Stages of the Path to Enlightenment (Tib. Lamrim), a synthesis of
the Buddha's teachings. It shows the entire path - from the way one
relies on a spiritual teacher, right up to the attainment of
Buddhahood, which is the final fruit. This course is based on the
well-know classic, "Liberation in the Palm of Your Hand".
The class started in March 2009 and is scheduled to complete by
September 2010.

TSONGKHAPA'S FINAL EXPOSITION OF
WISDOM
The section on Special Insight from
Lama Tsongkhapa's Medium Exposition of the Stages of the Path
to Enlightenment presents a brilliant explanation of the
relationship between dependent-arising and emptiness, shows how to
meditate on emptiness effectively and what it means to view
phenomena like illusions.
Though highly challenging, this is the arguably the most important
and clearest summary explanation of Buddhism's most perplexing
issue - what makes enlightenment possible. The course will be
taught based on the book "Tsongkhapa's Final Exposition of
Wisdom" translated by Jeffrey Hopkins. Please contact the
centre to place your order for the book.
