Welcome to Heart Sutra 2013Venerable Geshe Sonam Thargye is honoured to present a one-day teaching by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama on the Heart Sutra and the Eight Verses of Mind Training on Wednesday 19 June 2013 at the Quang Minh Temple in Braybrook, Melbourne.
The invitation to come to Melbourne in 2013 to teach on the Heart Sutra and the Eight Verses of Mind Training was extended in person by Geshe Sonam during a visit to His Holiness in India early in 2012. Venerable Geshe Sonam Thargye is the Spiritual Director of Drol Kar Buddhist Centre, which is located in the Surf Coast Shire, south west of Melbourne. The centre was established in Geelong in 1999 by Geshe Sonam and a group of his students. Drol Kar Buddhist Centre is a not-for-profit incorporated association with the sole purpose of providing Tibetan Buddhist teachings, Dharma practice, meditation and study in the Mahayana tradition. The centre also supports Geshe Sonam with various projects that aim to enhance the socioeconomic conditions, sustainable livelihoods, continuing education and spiritual practices of Tibetan people within Tibet, and in exile in India. His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama does not charge a speaking-engagement fee, and no aspect of His Holiness’ visit is being used to profit financially. Any funds raised through sponsorships and ticket sales will be used only to cover expenses for events benefiting humanity. Should there be surplus funds from His Holiness’ events, they will be disbursed to charitable organisations under the advisement of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.
