Shakyamuni Buddha taught that there are 84,000 poisons of the mind and that these give rise to obscurations and afflictive emotions, distancing us from enlightenment. However, each of the poisons - such as ignorance, anger, desire, pride, and envy - has an aspect of wisdom. By getting to know them, we can gain insights into how to put an end to suffering..
During this retreat, Lama Tsering will offer all the necessary tools to use the poisons of the mind as a path to enlightenment, including reflections on how these poisons distort our perception of events and influence our actions of body, speech and mind.
About Lama Tsering:
Born in the US, Lama Tsering served H.E. Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche as his translator for more than eleven years.
After completing a three-year retreat in 1995, she was ordained as a lama and became authorized to give teachings and empowerments of Vajrayana Buddhism. That same year, she was invited to give teachings in Brazil, to where she moved soon after, coordinating Odsal Ling, the center in São Paulo.
Recognized for her direct and humorous style, Lama Tsering focuses her teachings on the development of compassion and the application of Buddhist philosophy in daily life
