‘The Meaning of Life, from a Buddhist Perspective’ Which will lead us to Peace and Happiness
The Venerable Acharya Panchen Ötrul Rinpoche will teach the Meaning of Life using the Text given by Buddha Shakymuni which is called ‘The Wheel of Life’ or ‘Dependent Origination’.
This is a very important text. A large depiction of The Wheel of Life is displayed at the entrance to all Tibetan Monastic Buildings.
This was originally displayed at the request of the Buddha himself, and so is still continued today. It stresses the great importance of this Text in our daily lives.
During these teachings Ven. Panchen Otrul Rinpoche will explain how we can live our lives with a greater understanding.
Also using the Buddha’s first teaching of the Four Noble Truths, Rinpoche will lead us, from a Buddhist perspective, to the Peace and Happiness which is within each one of us, and which we all seek.
The weekend of Saturday 18th & Sunday 19th October 2014
1 An Overview of the Cycle of Existence, The Wheel of Life
In Tibetan Buddhism this is also called Conventional Existence or Samsara.
These teachings will explain, what motivates the movement we all experience in life.
From moment-to moment, week-to week, birth to death, Life-to life, we all experience this movement. We are unable to stop it. However we can learn to view it differently, and recognise how it dictates our life, through our own lack of understanding.
