A Weekend of Teachings with Khenpo Norgey On the Adornment for Nagarjuna's Thought by Gendun Chopel
Saturday & Sunday, January 23 - 24
10 AM - Noon | 1:30 - 3 PM
The Adornment for Nagarjuna's Thought is a deeply engrossing work of "Middle Way" philosophy, an essential feature of Mahayana Buddhism, which emphasizes the use of reason as a means for discerning truth - the truth of the ultimate nature of all phenomena. While some traditional Buddhist scholars view the Adornment as a rude, heretical work, others admire its innovative, sometimes ironic style for effectively expressing the Buddhist concept of emptiness. The work is firmly grounded in the logic and profound wisdom of the Mahayana, and is said to have a special appeal for contemporary students of dharma.
