Special Event! Weekend Workshop
Saturday, April 25 and Sunday April 26
9:00 am to 5:00 pm
Full weekend participation is recommended
The 16 Guidelines are straightforward and practical tools for making life better. They are universal values that promote mindfulness and enhance the way we think, speak and act in relation to others and find meaning in everyday life. Through these 16 Guidelines we learn how to lay a solid foundation that will contribute to the happiness of both ourselves and others. This workshop is suitable for people of all ages and all walks of life.
Lama Zopa Rinpoche has advised that the wisdom of this text becomes the practice of "Essential Education", an initiative of Lama Yeshe. These teachings are based on the wisdom and skillful means of Tibetan Buddhism, but are presented in a secular way.
The 16 Guidelines are:
Humility | Patience | Contentment | Delight
Kindness | Honesty | Generosity | Right Speech
Respect | Forgiveness | Gratitude | Loyalty
Aspiration | Principles | Service | Courage
Throughout this interactive workshop you will:
- Get hands-on experience with a range of mindful tools and methods
- Explore what brings meaning to one's life
- Gain a deeper understanding of the Guidelines & their practical application in daily life
- Participate in mindfulness practice, exercises, brainstorming & discussion
