The Importance of Training in Patience

Gelong Jangchub Phüntsog

Weekend course on Buddhism - English spoken, Dutch translation

Teacher

Gelong Changchub Phüntsog is senior monk and disciple at Rabten Choeling monastery (www.rabten.eu). We are happy that he will come to our centre in the Hague and share his knowledge with us: not just the theory, but also the actual practice of the teaching.

Course

This course is the continuation of the previous courses in 2018. We continue with the topic of Patience. This is an important quality for everybody in all circumstances, because patience is the antidote against hatred and dislike - causes for much aggression and suffering in the world. However, patience is also required if we wish to develop on the path of higher spiritual developments — like Liberation and Enlightenment. Patience is not merely a passive attitude of no resistance. It is an active state of wisdom and compassion.

Time and Venue

Saturday and Sunday: 10.00 – 12.00 and 14.30 – 17.00 hrs.

Stationsweg 98, Den Haag

Course Fee:

The course fee is € 35,- for the entire weekend. Those with minimum income can pay according to capacity.

Summer Meditation Week

Gonsar Tulku Rinpoche

These summer meditation courses have been started by the Most Venerable Geshe Rabten Rinpoche in 1981 in Les Avants, Switzerland. Since 1986 the Most Venerable Gonsar Rinpoche has continued these teachings every year.

It was Geshe Rinpoche's intention to provide disciples seriously interested in an effective practice of Dharma with a week of intensive teachings and meditation in an environment free of distraction, so that they can experience the depth and vastness of Lord Buddha's words, and thus make these a most precious part of their lives.

The Seven Points of Meditation

Venerable Rinpoche will give explanations on the seven types of essential mediations and introduce all the necessary foundations of thought and practice at the same time. These teachings will be a rare opportunity to encounter the thoughts and methods for a deep and effective practice of Dharma.
