Venerable Khando from the Kadampa Center for the Practice of Tibetan Buddhism<\/h4>\n

\u201cBuddhism in a Nutshell\u201d<\/em><\/h4>\n

May 7, 2015<\/p>\n

Like many people, you\u2019ve probably heard interesting things\u00a0about Buddhism, but didn’t know where to go to find out\u00a0the facts. Have you heard tantalizing words like dharma and\u00a0karma and samsara thrown around and wondered what they\u00a0really mean or why they matter? Would you like to get a\u00a0quick, clear, and authentic overview of Buddhism without making a big commitment?<\/p>\n

Well this presentation is for you! The Speaker, \u00a0Venerable Khando\u00a0from the Kadampa Center for the Practice of Tibetan Buddhism, will introduce you to the major\u00a0terms and concepts of Buddhism – a fast tour of the basics to enable you to whatever next steps\u00a0may be right for you.
\nTopics covered will include:
\n\u2022 The Four Noble Truths
\n\u2022 A brief history of Buddhism
\n\u2022 Buddha’s teachings in a gradual form for the practice of one individual
\n\u2022 A brief introduction to meditation<\/p>\n

Venerable Khando-la studied Buddhist thought\u00a0for 14 years and ordained in the Gelup tradition of Tibetan Buddhism in December 2013. Prior to becoming\u00a0a nun, she was a clinical social worker for 30 years.<\/p>\n

Angel Door Prize – Free<\/h4>\n

The Angel Door Prize will be the book Ethics for the New Millennium<\/i> written by His Holiness the Dalai Lama.<\/span><\/p>\n

_____________________________<\/span><\/p>\n

Ethics for the New Millennium<\/i> presents a moral system based on universal rather than religious principles. Its ultimate goal is happiness for every individual, irrespective of religious beliefs. Though he\u00a0himself a practicing Buddhist, the Dalai Lama’s teachings and the moral compass that guides him can lead each and every one of us\u2014Muslim, Christian, Jew, Buddhist, or atheist\u2014to a happier, more fulfilling life.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2014from the back cover<\/p>\n
