Public Talk "Four Seals of Dharma – Impermanence"
by Geshe Ngawang Phende

7:00 pm


First seal of Dharma. All compounded things are impermanence. Tonight Geshe Ngawang Phende will identify the cause of mental afflictions, such as hatred and attachment, as a need to hold on and grasp at permanence. An antidote is the realization of impermanence in that everything has a beginning, a middle, and an end.
