Mind, by nature, is clear and lucid - by Gehlek Rimpoche

Mind, by nature, is clear and lucid, capable of understanding everything that presents itself. Our experience of mind, however, is limited by habitual identification with ever changing motions and perceptions, the source of  suffering for ourselves and others. Through meditating on mind, we can reveal its deeper nature and fully realize mind's greatest potential of compassion and wisdom.

We invite you to join Gehlek Rimpoche as he illuminates the nature of mind according to the experience and teaching of Buddha:

Gehlek Rimpoche will be speaking the morning of  Saturday, September 8 beginning 10am  at a symposium offered by the Asia Society in conjunction with performances offered on Friday and Saturday evenings, September 7 and 8.  Details and ticket information follows.

Also, Gehlek Rimpoche will be speaking at 7pm on Tuesday,  October 16 on the Nature of Mind at Tibet House. Details follow.
