Attachment
How to get rid of dissatisfaction and end up living a life full of freedom. Join us on two Thursdays when Venerable Robina Courtin grants us live teachings on Zoom, explaining how to deal with attachment and let go of our innate dissatisfaction. WHEN: Thursday April 20, 5:00 – 6.30 pm CET WHERE: Online only LEVEL: For beginners and intermediate REGISTRATION: Please REGISTER HERE Join Zoom Meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81839377063?pwd=b1ZSMlQ4MVJWYnp3L1drMUF2bVROQT09 Meeting ID: 818 3937 7063 Passcode: 609932 The suffering of Samsara is rooted in ignorance, but the driving force is dissatisfaction due to our attachment. Revolving around us grasping at certain objects and desperately wishing to avoid other objects, it’s like being a drug addict in a heroin world: We are constantly dissatisfied and discontent, yearning for something else than what we have, and when attachment doesn’t get what it wants, anger arises. During these teachings, Ven. Robina will address the problems and helps us find a lasting solution full of hope and freedom, which will eventually leave us in a state full of care for other sentient beings. Happiness is what we get when we give up attachment. (Ven. Robina Courtin) Read more. About the Teacher Ven.

CANCELLED THIS MONTH Lama Tsongkhapa Guru Yoga / Mahamudra
CANCELLED JUNE 9, 2023 WHEN: Monthly, alternating between the 2nd and 4th Fridays. 7.00 – 9.00 pm CETWHERE: OnlineLEVEL: Intermediate. Some basic understanding of Mahayana Buddhism is of benefit. Beginners are welcome! LANGUAGE: English. According to Lama Zopa Rinpoche it is good to base your LamRim meditation on a Guru Yoga practice, such as Lama Tsongkhapa Guru Yoga (the Hundred Deities of Tushita - Ganden Lha Gyama). Find the sadhana here: Lama Tsongkhapa Guru Yoga Mahamudra, a Sanskrit word meaning “great seal,” refers to an advanced and sophisticated system of meditation on the nature of the mind, and the realizations gained through it. Having a focus shifting from the content to the experience of the experience, the ultimate goal is to achieve a non-dual awareness by observing emptiness (Sanskrit: Shunyata) like “a mindful fish not even stirring the water while swimming”.

Lama Zopa Rinpoche has spent hours in the prayer room, making extensive prayers and offerings, so it’s indeed an auspicious place. Due to this, daily offering sessions have been performed at this very spot, since the day that Rinpoche took his last breath and will continue until the 49th day.

Emptiness
Get an understanding of ultimate reality. Join us on two Thursdays when Venerable Robina Courtin grants us live teachings on Zoom, explaining ultimate wisdom in Tibetan Buddhism. WHEN: Thursdays, May 11 and 18, 7:00 – 8.30 pm CET WHERE: Online only LEVEL: For beginners and intermediate REGISTRATION: Please REGISTER HERE Join Zoom Meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81839377063?pwd=b1ZSMlQ4MVJWYnp3L1drMUF2bVROQT09 Meeting ID: 818 3937 7063 Passcode: 609932 Emptiness and dependent arising are two sides of the same coin. Dependent arising is a logical analysis that triggers the conclusion: There’s no “I” from its own side like some entity frozen in time and space, and therefore the “I” is empty of existing from its own side. Emptiness is the conclusion, the ultimate wisdom, you come to, having thought about dependent arising. During these teachings Ven. Robina will help us understand how we easily end up with the either of two extremes of inherent existence or nihilism, and discuss how the mistaken view of a dualistic understanding of subject and object pervades our mind. Phenomena exist is in dependence upon their parts. There is a cup, but you won’t find cup apart from its parts. But we think there is, and our language cheats us. Our language is really tricky. It reinforces selfexistence. (Ven. Robina Courtin) Read more. About the Teacher Ven. Robina Courtin, Australian-born, has a powerhouse personality and has been a Buddhist nun for nearly 40 years.
