Faith Belief and Wisdom; A Buddhist Perspective with Gen Kelsang Thekchen
Details
In our busy modern lives, true peace and lasting happiness often feel out of reach. This course gently guides you to cultivate deep faith—like pure eyes that reveal a world beyond ordinary suffering—as the foundation for spiritual growth. You'll explore how belief in the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha) opens the door to your own infinite potential, while wisdom—the virtuous intelligence that realizes the true nature of reality—cuts through confusion and delusion to bring clarity and freedom.
This is a perfect preparation for the refuge retreat that follows, April 19-23, which will be partially guided by Gen Thekchen. Visit meditateinottawa.org for more info about this retreat.
