Lama Tashi’s first teaching this Autumn, co-sponsored with Unity of Charlottesville, will be From Confusion to Clarity: Buddhist Wisdom for Our World Today on October from 1:00 – 3:00 pm in the Sanctuary at Unity of Charlottesville. Registration is open now! Lama Tashi will guide us through Manjushri’s practice on cultivating discerning wisdom to find clarity amidst confusion in today’s world. This session will include meditation and mantra practice and teachings on the Buddhist insight of the Two Truths. It will also serve as a time of introduction and re-connection to Lama Tashi and his teaching series for this visit to Charlottesville.  Advance registration is much appreciated.
