Buddhism in a Nutshell
with Ven Jampa Sangmo
Mondays, 7:00pm – 8:30pm February 17 – March 10 |
This is an introductory course that provides a general overview of basic Buddhist philosophy for complete beginners or a “refresher” for those who have some experience. It does not assume that those who come for this course know anything at all about Buddhism or about meditation. Anyone is welcome to attend who is interested in learning something about Buddhism in its various forms presented in a Tibetan Mahayana context.
This is a great opportunity to learn about Buddhism in a relaxed environment, and each class includes time for meditation and discussion. Join Venerable Jampa, known for her clear and engaging teaching style, as she introduces you to Buddhist principles with a focus on how they can help you in your daily life. |
Venerable Jampa Sangmo is a Tibetan Buddhist Nun. In 1966 she was first introduced to meditation at the University of California at Los Angeles when Maharishi Mahesh Yogi was invited to give a lecture. Her interest in meditation led her to the exploration of Zen, where she studied with Thich Nhat Hanh, and Vipassana, where she did numerous long retreats. She came to Tibetan Buddhism in 1993 and began her studies with several Buddhist Masters including Lama Zopa Rinpoche, Choden Rinpoche, Ribur Rinpoche, and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. In 2008 she took robes with her teacher Khensur Jampa Tegchok Rinpoche.
