One of the clearest presentations of the path to enlightenment is a short poem called The Three Principal Aspects of the Path, composed 600 years ago by the extraordinary Spiritual Guide and founder of the New Kadampa lineage, Je Tsongkhapa.
In a mere fifteen verses, Je Tsongkhapa distills the vastness of the Buddhist stages of the path to enlightenment to three essential realizations, or experiential understandings. Gaining experience of these three – renunciation, bodhichitta, and the wisdom realizing emptiness – will provide us with the methods we need to transform every aspect of our life into opportunities for our inner development and spiritual growth.
On this special weekend course, Gen Delek will take us on a spiritual journey, step-by-step through the development of each of these three understandings, based on the commentary by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso in his book, The Mirror of Dharma with Additions.
