The Buddha asked: ”Am I born only to die one day?” In other words; what is the meaning of life, our time between birth and death? One answer is: to flourish and come to our full potential. But what is our potential? It may be more than we ever dreamed of, but it is difficult to asses as long as we don’t know where we came from or where we are heading to.  Yet we are still responsible to make the most of this life.

Buddhism offers comprehensive structures to understand the context of human life and to teach us how to draw out the best. Self-knowledge and basic human values are the starting point. Without guilt or fear we can begin to examine our life, exploring how we interact with others and what are the forces we have to contend with. Each of us makes imprints on time, making life worthwhile. What will be yours? 

The premise of Buddhism is that we need to ask the right questions. We can discover for ourselves the truths in our life. The Buddha’s teachings are vast and deep and there are countless ways to introduce them. In this three-day seminar we will choose a thematic approach that will give each of you a glimpse of Tibetan Buddhism and expand on what you know already.
