2010 Karma - The Law of Actions and their EffectsTuesdays, 7 - 9 pmIf we lack either the wisdom understanding the law of karma or conviction that our actions will produce effects, we will unwittingly embrace the very causes of our suffering. Understanding karma is a priceless wisdom because we can avoid creating causes for suffering and instead create only causes for happiness. If in addition, we purify negative karma we have previously created we be able to gain real control of our future experiences.
The Liberating PathTuesdays, 7 - 9 pmEveryone, including animals, holds a strong wish to be permanently free from suffering. Animals have no opportunity to attain such a result, but humans do. The main reason we have not achieved permanent liberation from suffering is a paradox. It is because we lack a strong motivation to engage in the actual causes that lead us to freedom from suffering. If we develop wisdom understanding that suffering is unavoidable so long as we remain an ordinary being, then the strong wish to become liberated from being ordinary will arise in our mind. Once we have this strong desire the effort will naturally come to release us once and for all from the bondage of suffering.
Tantra - The Essence of Buddha's TeachingsTuesdays, 7 - 9 pmThe real meaning of our human life is finding and following the correct spiritual path to enlightenment. The supreme path is the tantric path, for it is the quick method to attain full enlightenment. A tantric practitioner learns how to transform worldly pleasures into the path, by overcoming his or her ordinary view and conception of reality. When tantra is practiced correctly, practitioners experience few difficulties and quickly advance from joy to joy.
