Why is this Happening to Me? The Wheel of Life Buddhist Perspectives Cause and Effect Geshe Tsultrim

Why is this Happening to Me? The Wheel of Life and Buddhist Perspectives on Cause and Effect Using the traditional Buddhist allegorical image of the Wheel of Life and the teaching of the twelve links of dependent origination, Geshe Tsultrim will deftly illustrate how our existence, though fleeting and often full of woes, brims with the potential for peace and happiness. We can realize that potential by cultivating a wise appreciation of the interdependency of actions and experience, and by living a kind and compassionate life. A life thus lived, becomes thoroughly meaningful for both oneself and others. Saturday 26 August 9.00 am to Sunday 27 August 3.30 pm. Held in the Gompa at Chenrezig Institute. Facility fee $108 Bookings www.chenrezig.com.au

Established 1974, Chenrezig Institute is a centre for Buddhist study, meditation, retreat and practice nestled in the foothills of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. The Institute is home to a Tibetan Geshe (Lama), a large community of ordained Sangha (monks and nuns), students, residents, volunteers, retreat goers and guests.

Apart from the formal study programmes, Chenrezig Institute is a peaceful, calm and relaxing place to spend a few hours, days or weeks. Stroll along the bush paths, wander in formal garden, espresso in the cafe or a vegetarian meal.
