שתי האמיתות עם גשה דורג'י דמדול

Dear DFI team,

Hope this mail finds you and yours well.
We would like to invite you and the entire team at DFI (and feel free to forward it to any other groups you think may benefit) for an online teaching with Ven. Geshe Dorji Damdul (Director, Tibet House – Cultural Centre of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, New Delhi) on October 9th & 10th…on the precious topic of the Two Truths.

About The Two Truths:
We see the world around us – the pandemic, a cup of tea, our neighbours, or even this document as completely ‘real’ and interact with the world based on the assumption that things exist exactly as we see them. Based on this view, we then form groups and categories of things, beings and people, since we mistakenly believe them to be solid and independent entities. And this often becomes the source of our discontent, unease and suffering. But is this assumption really true?

Buddhist thought explores and explains the answer through the concept of the Two Truths: Relative truth and Ultimate truth. This is a profound topic that takes years of study and practice, but even a brief glimpse into this wisdom with a skilled teacher can help many of us recognise these unexplored assumptions in our lives and minds.

About the Teacher:
