Walking
the Path of the Wisdom Buddha
A
weekend retreat at Yokoji Retreat Center
Sponsored by Vajrarupini Buddhist Center
5pm Friday - 2pm Sunday,
September 24-26
We have so many questions about what to do and how to respond in every
different situation. We want certainty and confidence in our lives, but
often find ourselves confused and hesitant. Buddha’s teachings offer the
solutions to all these dilemmas and problems. Although there are
thousands of methods, Buddha’s principal disciple, Manjushri, renowned
for his wisdom, integrated all of these teachings into three
meditations: renouncing suffering, universal compassion, and the wisdom
realizing ultimate truth. Following in Manjushri’s footsteps we can
develop great wisdom that will be our guide in every situation and give
rise to an ocean of happiness and peace. |

Monday Introductory Classes, 7-8:30pm
Summer Series: 4 Wheels of the Supreme Vehicle
Drop in to any class. We all
seek change and improvement, a way to improve our world and our life. If
we think of our spiritual life as being like a car, there are four
foundations for this spiritual life, called "the four wheels of the
great vehicle". These are refuge, renunciation, bodhichitta, and correct
view. In essence, these four minds provide the motivation and the
guidance with which we can begin to transform our way of experiencing
the world. This series of classes will help us understand how to build
the foundation of these four minds in our life.
