Recognizing the Mother: Preparing for His Holiness' Teaching

At the request of Lama Zopa Rinpoche and FPMT, His Holiness the Dalai Lama will give an online teaching on emptiness at 10:30 pm Raleigh time, Sunday, February 7 (Monday morning Feb. 8 India time). For more information, please go to His Holiness' website.

To prepare us for the teaching, Geshe Gelek will offer teachings on Wednesday nights beginning January 20, on the text His Holiness will teach -  Recognizing the Mother: An Experiential  Song of the View by Changkya Rölpai Dorjé.

FPMT has made a translation of the text available here.

In the January 20 class, Geshe Gelek advised becoming familiar with the death dissolution meditation, and focusing on the internal signs. You can find the death dissolution meditation on Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive. Death dissolution is the first meditation on this page. 

These teachings will replace the regular Wednesday Lamrim class for the time being.

Students who have already registered on Zoom for the Lamrim class can continue to use the same registration link to attend the Zoom sessions on this text.

   Students who have not been attending the lamrim class can click here to register.

As always, we will also stream the teaching on YouTube.

We will continue review of teachings on calm abiding at 6:45 pm and Geshe-la will arrive at 7 pm.
