Tuesdays, 7:00pm – 9:00pm
January 15 – February 26, 2019
(7 classes)

In order to make greater progress along the spiritual path, it is useful to begin a daily practice at home, at whatever level is realistic in your life. In this class, we will learn how to establish a daily practice that is balanced and is practical for you.

This course will include the following topics:

• How to set up an altar
• The various elements of a balanced practice
• Introduction to preliminary practices and why they are helpful
• How to turn everyday activities into the path
• The most important aspect of practice

Everyone is welcome!

Although it is part of the Discovering Buddhism program, anyone is welcome to attend — you do not have to have attended previous modules.

Having a long-held interest in the mind's capacity for transformation, Ven. Gyalten Palmo left home to spend 4½ months in India with an enlightened master in the late 1970's. Ven. Palmo started studying Tibetan Buddhism at the turn of the century. She has studied closely under Ribur Rinpoche, Choden Rinpoche, Geshe Ngawang Dakpa and Lama Zopa Rinpoche. She went on to complete the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition's (FPMT) Basic Program coursework and retreats. In 2012, she was ordained by Choden Rinpoche at Sera Jey Monastic University in India.

As an FPMT-registered teacher, she has been teaching Discovering Buddhism regularly at Tse Chen Ling Center in San Francisco since 2013. Ven. Palmo loves studying and sharing the Dharma with others.
