This series with Venerable Ani Losang is from June 3-24. We will learn about the Purification Practices in the Gelug Lineage. Purification practices have the power to remove obstacles and negative karma preventing us from realizing the path. In this series of practices, we learn about their unique characteristics as well as why and how to practice them.
There are four topics in this series. Tonight is session 1.
Tonight, we will be guided by Venerable Ani Losang on Taking the Eight Mahayana Precepts: We will learn the reasons behind taking the eight mahayana precepts as well as how to take them. Each percept will be explained. It’s said that the eight Mahayana precepts are a powerful and effective way for you to build, maintain and increase deep propensities for spiritual practice and attainment and thus is a profound method for giving meaning to your precious human life.
