Ven. Thubten Chodron, Translation: Bhikṣuṇī Thubten Jampa

Time: Tue. 7-8:30/9 pm
Location: Tibetan Center, Hamburg-City, Güntherstraße 39, 22087 Hamburg and online

We are very happy about another visit from the Venerable Thubten Chodron. She is the founder and abbess of Sravasti Abbey in the USA. She will give a talk in Hamburg and lead a retreat in our Meditation House Semkye Ling. The talk is based on the book “Courageous Compassion” (Vol. 6) from the multi-volume series “Library of Wisdom and Compassion”, a special multi-volume series in which His Holiness the Dalai Lama passes on the Buddha's teachings on the complete path to full awakening, which he himself has practiced throughout his life.

The topics are specially compiled for people seeking practical spiritual advice with His Holiness the Dalai Lama's unique perspective. Supported by his longtime student, American nun Venerable Thubten Chodron, His Holiness the Dalai Lama creates the context for practicing the Buddha's teachings in modern times and then reveals the path of wisdom and compassion that leads to a meaningful life and a sense of personal fulfillment. This series is an important bridge from introductory to in-depth topics for those seeking a profound explanation from a contemporary perspective.

We are very happy about another visit from the Venerable Thubten Chodron. She is the founder and abbess of Sravasti Abbey in the USA. She will give a lecture in Hamburg and lead a retreat in our Meditation House Semkye Ling. The retreat is based on the book “Searching for the self” (Vol. 7) from the multi-volume series “Library of Wisdom and Compassion”. In the book, the Dalai Lama leads us to delve deeply into the topic of the emptiness of inherent existence by presenting it from a variety of approaches, focusing on identifying our wrong views and pointing us to the actual mode of existence of all people and phenomena.
