"The Three Principles of the Path" is a brilliant encapsulation of Buddhist ethical and contemplative practices by the 14th-century Tibetan master Tsongkhapa, founder of the Gelugpa tradition that the Dalai Lama upholds. The weekend teaching on this work offers an inspirational and comprehensive model for the systematic development of the spiritual life, accessible to lay people as well as monastics.
This panel discussion will introduce Tibetan, Japanese and Southeast Asian Buddhist perspectives on the topic.
The panel will include Khen Rinpoche; David Gardiner; and Maria Heim, associate professor of religion and chair of the Five College Buddhist Studies Certificate Program. It will be moderated by Paola Zamperini, chair of the Department of Asian Languages and Civilizations.
