Venerable Chodron emphasizes the practical application of the Buddha’s teachings in our daily lives and is especially skilled at explaining them in ways easily understood and practiced by Westerners. She is well known for her warm, humorous, and lucid teachings. Each month Venerable Chodron will unpack a Buddhist philosophical topic relevant to our lives.
In association with Vajrayana Institute (Sydney), Kunsang Yeshe is presenting teachings by Venerable Chodron for our local community. These will be monthly online sessions, to be held from June to November 2024. The Zoom sessions will be available as a community event at Kunsang Yeshe or online at your location.
Why not join us in the Gompa for the teachings and a cuppa?
There will be opportunities for asking questions and interacting with Venerable Chodron.
The times for each session are on Sundays @ 10.00am-11.30am (some variations in times due to daylight saving).
