A Day Course in Palm Desert
Everyone experiences problems, difficulties, and sufferings in their lives. These difficulties may wax and wane, but we never experience permanent relief from our problems, even though this is what everyone truly yearns for. Just as sickness arises from causes, so our physical and mental problems come from seeds or causes in our hearts. Through recognizing the true origins of our sufferings we can learn how to reduce and eventually eradicate them. This is the true path that leads to freedom from all our problems.
In this day course, Gen Atisha will explain how to identify the root of all our problems, and how to use wisdom to cut this root. Both practical and profound, this course will introduce Buddha's basic framework for explaining the spiritual path, the four Noble Truths.

January 2008, Geshe Kelsang appointed Gen Kelsang Atisha to be Resident
Teacher of Vajrarupini Center. Gen Atisha was ordained as a Buddhist
monk by Geshe Kelsang, and has studied under him since 1999.
The name 'Atisha', given to him by
his Spiritual Guide, means 'peace' and was also the name of the
11th-century founder of Kadampa Buddhism. Having

become a qualified meditation teacher, skilled in conveying the ancient
teachings of Buddha in the context of contemporary American society. |
