The Wheel Of Sharp Weapons with Geshe Ngawang Tenley

 

 

This will be an intermediate level course on The Wheel of Sharp Weapons, by Dharmarakshita.

The Wheel of Sharp Weapons, composed by the great Indian yogi Dharmarakshita more than a thousand years ago, is among the most esteemed of the so-called mind training teachings. Mind training is a special genre of teaching that deals with employing techniques for transforming problems into happiness. Geshe Tenley will guide us verse by verse through Dharmarakshita's classic, explaining the workings of karma, the benefits of altruism, and the means to cut through our true enemies: self-grasping and self-cherishing.

Geshe Ngawang Tenley, who came to Kurukulla from Sera Je monastery in the spring of 2004, has been a monk for over fifteen years. He recently completed his final exams and was conferred the Geshe degree at Sera Je Monastery, and has been Kurukulla Center's head teacher since November 2010. His cheerfulness and humility endear him to everyone he meets.
