Public Talk "Identifying Subsequent Cognizers"
by Geshe Ngawang Phende

7:00 pm

Realizing anything just once is not enough. Genuine transformation can only take place through repeated familiarization. This is the function of subsequent cognizers. In this class, we will discuss the nature, function and divisions of subsequent cognizers.

Public Talk "Identifying Non-Attentive Awarenesses"
by Geshe Ngawang Phende

7:00 pm

When something merely appears to the mind, it is not necessarily ascertained, particularly when we are not being attentive to them. When overcome by negativity and unhappiness, we may be surrounded by friens, family and comfort but still be miserable. In this class, we will look at such non-attentive minds, their nature, function and types.

Public Talk "Identifying Direct Cognizers"
by Geshe Ngawang Phende

7:00 pm

To truly stabilize one's mental transformation, one needs ultimately to gain direct insight into the truth. This is where, instead of relying on logic and reasoning to perceive reality, one perceives reality immediately and non-conceptually. In this class we will identify direct cognizes, their nature, function and divisions.

Public Talk "Using Buddhist Psychology to Overcome Suffering"
by Geshe Ngawang Phende

7:00 pm

Buddhism is the "inner science" of the mind. The whole point of practice is to bring the mind under control through working with the mind itself as the root of all our suffering and happiness. Buddhist psychology therefore offers dynamic and practical methods for overcoming suffering and achieving peace and happiness.
