No Fear: The Power of Real Refuge

Day Course Saturday, March 20th, 9:30am-4pm

with American Kadampa Buddhist Monk, Gen Kelsang Rigpa

$40 includes vegetarian lunch

We have so many fears: loneliness, poverty, sickness, rejection, failure, commitment, losing control, death, the future of this world and the future of our children.... What do we turn to for protection from fear and anxiety? What can we actually rely upon and trust in this unstable world? During this course Gen Rigpa will teach the Buddhist practice of going for refuge. We will learn about the causes and types of fear, and how to transform them into spiritual growth. Gradually we can become a person with no fear, and a source of protection and refuge for others.

“Dreading samsara, I realized that the Three Jewels have complete power to give protection. With fear and faith, if we go for refuge sincerely to the Three Jewels, this is the actual nature of going for refuge. You, Omniscient Tsongkhapa, know this.”
