Dharmakaya Study Group Every Sunday

The intention of this group is for Dharma friends to come together and discuss the various principles of Buddhist ideas in order to create a deeper understanding for our practice. We will be reading and discussing Samsara, Nirvana and Buddha Nature, volume three in the Library of Wisdom and Compassion series by His Holiness Dalai Lama and Venerable Thubten Chodron.

Knowledge of buddha nature reveals and reconciles the paradox of how the mind can be the basis for both the duhkha of samsara (the unpurified mind) and the bliss and fulfillment of nirvana (the state of true freedom and peace). To illustrate this, Samsara, Nirvana, and Buddha Nature first takes readers through Buddhist thought on the self, the four truths, and their sixteen attributes. It then explains afflictions—including how they arise and their antidotes—followed by an examination of karma and cyclic existence, and, finally, a deep and thorough elucidation of buddha nature. Samsara, Nirvana, and Buddha Nature shows us how to purify our minds and cultivate awakened qualities.
