Venerable Khenpo Choephel –  The Key Practices on the Path to Realizing the Wisdom of the Tathagata, March 15-16 & 22-13, 2025

 

On March 15 – 16 and 22 – 23, Venerable Khenpo Choephel will be giving teachings on The Key Practices on the Path to Realizing the Wisdom of the Tathagata.  The teachings are open to all. In-person registrations are closed but you may still register for Zoom online.

Khenpo will be teaching on the path aspect for us practitioners to attain an understanding of the profound wisdom of the awakened mind which encompasses the nature of emptiness, the impermanent nature of our existence, and the interconnectedness of all phenomena. These are ways of leading practitioners to achieve liberation from suffering and cultivating a pure impartial view.

Registration is open here – please let us know which days you plan to attend. The suggested donation is $70 for In-Person for each weekend, or $40 per day in person, and $50 (weekend) / $25 (day) online. We are also seeking sponsors who can give more to help others who may have insufficient funds. Donations to this event may be made online here, at the center in the donation box, or Zelle (the Zelle QR code is included at the bottom of this post!).

Your donations will support TRTCC’s many teaching and cultural events year round. No one will be turned away from Dharma teachings for insufficient funds.

 

The schedule for both weekends will be as follows (EST/New York time):

Saturday: 10a – 12p, 1:30p – 4:30p
Sunday: 10a -12p, 1:30p – 3p

Zoom: We will send registrants the Zoom link before the teaching weekend.

All teachings will be held at Three Rivers Tibetan Cultural Center, 7313 Florence Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15218 If attending in person, you may bring a lunch or go out. The center will provide tea.

Event parking: There is limited street parking, and we want to be good neighbors. So if you are able to walk a short distance, please do not park on the street near the center. There is a metered parking lot on Monongahela Avenue at Denniston, or you can park for free in the Swissvale Shopping Center at Church Street and Monongahela Avenue. Either location is about a block from the center.

It is also customary to offer a khata and dana to our teachers at the end of the teachings as a gesture of gratitude for their kindness and appreciation for their teachings. To learn more about khata offerings and dana, follow this link.

May the illumination of wisdom teachings shine through all obscurations of our mind, and may our practices be beneficial to all beings!

 


Three Rivers Tibetan Cultural Center exists and is sustained solely by voluntary donations. Please know that no amount is too small. It is the intention to help that matters. We very much appreciate any support you are able to give.
