by Ven. Khenpo Choephel

Saturday & Sunday, September 29-30, 2018

The life of Buddha Shakyamuni in the 5th Century BC exemplifies the enlightening path that heals and transcends human suffering. BUDDHA means “the awakened one”, “the enlightened one”. His teachings on the accumulation of beneficial actions (Merits), and meditative concentration to realize our innate pure nature (Wisdom), are the foundation of Buddhism philosophy and practices.
