Buddhist Teachings in Manhattan

Learning ~ Contemplation ~ Meditation

March 19, 20 & 21, 2010

Be prepared to have your awareness greatly expanded by the ancient wisdom tradition of the Dzogchen Lineage, considered to be the swiftest path to enlightenment by many in the Vajrayana school of Tibetan Buddhism. Hazlitt is on a 30-city teaching tour after having spent over a year in retreat receiving teacher training from His Eminence Dzogchen Khenpo Choga Rinpoche. Attend one day or more. Each day is a complete teaching cycle. Do your best to attend all sessions on the days you participate. Ample breaks will be provided. For the Sunday Daylong Retreat, if you are new to this tradition, it is highly recommended, but not required, that you first attend the Friday and/or Saturday teachings. The two daylong retreats are non-residential, so food and accommodations are not provided. Please brown bag your lunch or you may leave to eat locally during the lunch break. Chairs will be provided. If you would like to sit on the floor, please bring your own cushions, pads and blankets.

Cost: These teachings are offered for FREE, but in accordance with Buddhist tradition, donations to the teacher and organizers are encouraged and needed to perpetuate this ancient wisdom. Suggested donation is $5 to $25 per session. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.

Contact: Seating limited for the weekend daylongs, so advance registration is suggested. Register at www.pathbuddha.com/registration, or get more info at www.pathbuddha.com or contact us directly at bhadradorje@gmail.com or 415-846-3618 or 702-204-1331.

Evening Dharma Teaching & Discussion

You Can Attain True Happiness

Happiness is a state of being that all of us are constantly seeking, but which is frequently elusive. Buddha taught that happiness originates from deep within one's own present moment thinking, and is not caused by outside conditions. He also taught that your thinking influences the happiness of others. By engaging in learning, contemplation and meditation, you can understand, experience and realize the nature of your thinking. There is no need to wait, since happiness is possible right now in your present moment.
