Dear Dharma friends,
we, the Dharmadhara team, are pleased to offer you a new monthly format starting on January 26, 2025: the Dharmadhara study meeting. It takes place every fourth Sunday of the month and centers around the Thirty-Seven Practices of the Bodhisattvas. Please note that the meeting will be in German.
Garchen Rinpoche says about this text:
“I encourage all my students to study and reflect on the meaning of the 37 practices of the bodhisattvas. See this text as my representative. This is the most important heartfelt advice I give to my students.”
After a group recitation of the text, a Dharmadhara teacher or advanced student will give a short introduction to a verse or topic. We recommend that you get Garchen Rinpoche’s book for more in-depth knowledge (see details below).
Of course, the exchange should not be neglected either! The subsequent discussion will be moderated by a Dharmadhara team member to provide space for your questions and thoughts about Dharma practice.
The study meeting is intended to help us as a Sangha get to know each other better and create an inspiring platform for your questions about the Dharma.
We look forward to your participation!
