Buddhist Philosophy

The LTWA offers daily Buddhist philosophy classes to help people appreciate and understand ‘truth’ and help them deal with daily problems. The classes are taught by Geshes who are highly qualified in Buddhist philosophy and have dedicated a major part of their lives to study and practice the philosophy. The first two Buddhist philosophy classes will be assisted by English translators for the convenience of western students while the third class is will be taught only in Tibetan. Courses focus either on specific Indian or Tibetan texts or on significant topics of Buddhist philosophy and practice. The texts covered in the classes provide the foundation for a lifetime of meditation practice.

SCHEDULE INFORMATION

There are three classes of one-hour duration: 9:30 am - 10:30 am, 11:00 am - 12:00 pm and 2:15 - 3:15 pm. Monday classes are dedicated to meditation practice. This includes teachings on meditation, its preparation, posture and appropriate conclusion.

Note: Dates and times may change due to scheduled or unscheduled public teachings given by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. If possible, such changes will be announced in advance. There will be no classes on the second and fourth Saturdays of every month, Sunday, and other official holidays. Very occasionally a class may need to be cancelled. Prospective students are therefore requested to call, email, or visit www.ltwa.net to confirm the schedule before coming to the LTWA.
