Fall Course ~
Relying Upon a Dharma Protector
Weekend course with Gen Chodor
Saturday Oct 18 | 10am-3:45pm
Sunday Oct 19 | 3pm-6pm
In challenging times, we need protection from dangers and worries so that we can remain happy and continue to make spiritual progress.
In this weekend course, Gen Chodor will introduce the meditation practice of relying on Dorje Shugden, the Dharma Protector of Kadampa Buddhism. Dorje Shugden is a Wisdom Buddha who removes obstacles, gathers the conditions we need to practice Dharma, and helps us transform life’s difficulties into stepping stones toward enlightenment.
Gen Chodor will also explain how we can draw close to Dorje Shugden, helping us develop fearlessness and the spiritual strength to benefit both ourselves and others.
