We are pleased to offer virtual teachings with Don Handrick on the lamrim text Extracting the Meaning of This Life: Yeshe Tsöndrü’s The Essential Nectar.

The “Stages of the Path” (Tibetan: lamrim) literature is one of the great treasures of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition in that it clearly delineates the crucial points for meditating on the path to enlightenment. In this course, we will explore the topics of the lamrim as they are set out in a popular and practical set of verses, The Essential Nectar, composed by the eighteenth-century scholar Yeshe Tsöndrü. This text reveals the essence of the path to enlightenment, instructing us in how we can extract the great value of this human life and realize our ultimate potential.

The Essential Nectar text is one that Lama Zopa Rinpcohe recommended frequently for his students to study and use, and the format of verses makes it quite practical as a method to do lamrim meditation.

Join us for virtual teachings with Don Hanrick on The Essential Nectar:

Tuesdays 7:00pm - 8:30pm MDT
April 16 – July 16
All teachings on Zoom (registration required)
