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.

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.
