This series of meditations are focussed on the Lam rim- the Graduated Path to Enlightenment – and led by Venerable Tenzin Drolkar. They are presented in sequence throughout the year, resuming on the 2nd February, 2025 with a change of time from 9.00am to start at 9.30am, for one hour. The series begins with the first topic; The Pure Nature of Mind and then continues throughout the year until the final topic in December 2025. The Lam rim represents the totality of the Buddha’s teachings. As meditations, they are an essential pathway into Geshe Jampa Gyaltsen’s profound teaching, presented in his Tuesday and Wednesday evening classes. The Sunday morning meditations can be attended in person, in our beautiful Gompa at Tibetan Buddhist Institute, or online and are suitable for everyone – no need to book, just come a few minutes before 9.30am! If you wish to attend online, please make sure the TBI Office has an email address which can be used to send you an invitation.
Tibetan Buddhist Institute is located at 8 Ross Avenue, Flinders Park SA

VISUALISATION –MEDITATION
By visualizing ourselves as a Body of Light and understanding the pure nature of our own mind, can help us transform our lives. Our afflicted minds are so preoccupied with our busy lives that we are never satisfied with the present moment. We’re constantly reliving the past or worrying about the future. In other words, we are addicted to taking refuge in the external ‘things’ and fantasies of this life, rather than in the clear nature of our own mind in this present moment. Gradually however, we can learn to see how futile it is to seek refuge in the illusions of what appear as solid and reliable, ‘out-there’, external to our minds, and, with practice, identify more and more with the natural purity and clarity of who we really are. We can even experience a taste of what we can become – fully awakened, a Buddha.
