Event is in English only.Why, in this information age, do we need a spiritual mentor?
Why, in times of easily accessible information, also given the risks of pandemic, and abusive behaviour within Buddhism, do we need a personal relationship with a spiritual mentor? We have access to information and teachers who teach online. Why is that not sufficient? What is the specialness of a personal relationship?All Abbey Dharma programs are offered freely, and your offering is welcomed. Make an offering here.

In this weekly series, Venerable Thubten Chodron gives reading and commentary on Samsara, Nirvana, and Buddha Nature, Volume 3 in the multi-volume book series of The Library of Wisdom and Compassion by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Venerable Thubten Chodron.
Samsara, Nirvana, and Buddha Nature explores the mind’s role in creating the extreme duhkha (unsatisfactoriness) of our present existence and our infinitely vast potential to become free of it. This volume shows us how to purify our minds and cultivate awakened qualities.
