Retreat Dates: Feb 1-2 2014
Retreat Location: Auraria Campus Tivoli Building, 900 Auraria Parkway, Denver 80204, Room 444
Description: In this retreat, Venerable Tenzin Priyadarshi will present “Three Principal Aspects of the Path,” an essential Kadampa Buddhist scripture, written by Lama Je Tsong Khapa.
Tsong Khapa founded the Ganden monastery in 1409 and his followers later became known as the Gelugpas. The Gelug School, which eventually became the largest of the four main schools of Tibetan Buddhism, emphasized the union of sutra and tantra and the step by step graduated path to enlightenment.
Tsong Khapa asserted that it is on the basis of these three aspects: the wish for true freedom, the generation of altruistic intention, and the wisdom that understands how things really exist, that one must embark on this profound spiritual path.
The retreat will consist of teachings, discussion and meditation sessions.
