The Nature & Benefits of Enthusiasm: A Public Talk by Khenpo Pema Wangdak
Posted October 21, 2016 at 5:41 am by Peggy Sue McRae
From Sakya Kachod Choling, Buddhist Retreat Center…
Explore the potential of your inner strength from a Tibetan Buddhist perspective.
Imagine a power that must be reckoned with and that is the force behind all possibilities, without which the virtues of the world and merits of the individual will simply not flourish. The Bodhisattva’s Way of Life, a Tibetan Buddhist text by Shantideva points to just such a power. Here we are guided on how to go about acquiring this sustained energy, which can both inspire and provoke our inner strength and make use of the potentialities. Enthusiasm empowers everything, from our confidence in the relative nature of things to compassion, kindness, generosity, discipline, meditation, and even our success in life’s daily affairs.
The talk is free (donations are happily accepted and support Sakya Kachod Choling Retreat Center) and will be held at the Mullis Center, 589 Nash Street in Friday Harbor on Friday, November 4, at 7:00 pm. Contact: 360-378-4059 or [email protected]. Khenpo Pema will also be giving initiations and leading a retreat at Sakya Kachod Choling retreat center November 5 – 12 Please visit the center’s website for details.
