We are fortunate to have Geshe Sherab return to teach and share his profound wisdom and compassion with us online. Geshe la understands and connects well with Western students. He presents the Dharma in English, in a warm and open way.

Why did Buddha say ‘hearing, reflecting and contemplating’? What exactly are these three, and how do they work together to actually change our minds and make our lives better? Geshe Sherab will explore these key foundations for our practice of the Buddhist Path.

Everyone is welcome!

Opportunity to Make an Offering to Geshe Sherab and the Centre

Sponsoring the teachings helps to make the teachings available to everyone. In this way, we are able to practice the generosity of giving of the Dharma and thereby create vast amounts of merit.

Remember to make an aspiration/dedication to accomplish your goals for yourself and others before making the offering. With clear intention, we can create causes to accomplish the welfare of both ourselves and all sentient beings, or of any heartfelt cause.
