the TEACHINGSHis Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama's 2013 Melbourne teachings will be based on two complementary texts, The Heart Sutra and the Eight Verses of Mind Training. Together these texts teach us how to skillfully generate wisdom and method in order to transform our minds and achieve enlightenment.
The Heart Sutra is a concise presentation that brings out the essence or 'heart' of the Buddha’s teachings. Through the gradual process of cultivating wisdom, we can develop our ability to cut through delusions, and understand the ultimate nature of the way in which ‘I’ and all phenomena exist. The Eight Verses of Mind Training by Langri Tangpa explains the importance of the method aspect of the path. It shows us how, through generating compassion, loving-kindness and altruism, we can transform our ordinary mind into attaining enlightenment. Translation during teachings His Holiness will offer the teachings in Tibetan and English. Translation from Tibetan to English will be given by His interpreter on stage. There will also be translation into Vietnamese and Chinese. Please bring your own FM Radio. Further reading
