What happens to us at the time of death, and when we transition through the Bardo? What do the visions, hallucinations and feelings mean? How can we create a good rebirth? We can prepare for these states through a number of powerful meditation practices, so that we can overcome our fear at the time of death. These will also help us to live better lives, and support others as they die. This is a LiveStream Event  Sunday 22nd November 2020 7am-9am Western Australian Time 

“As a star, a visual aberration, a lamp, an illusion, dew, a bubble, a dream, lightning, and a cloud - view all the compounded like that” In this sutra, Subhuti asks the Buddha how one should practice and control one’s mind.

Geshe Thubten Sherab will be teaching on this profound sutra for Australian FPMT centres.  Geshe-la is a highly respected and experienced international teacher, whose tours in Australia have earned him a reputation as warm, wise and accessible. He teaches in fluent and excellent English.  Teaching screened on Lhabab Duchen, Saturday 7th November 2020. 10am - 12 midday Western Australian Time

Medicine Buddha Healing Buddha A practice for the prevention and healing of disease. This practice protects you from diseases not yet experienced and from those already being experienced.  This is the terma (treasure) advice instruction of the Lotus Arisen One (Padmasambhava).   Sickness and poor health are experiences shared by all regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, age or any other markers of identity that can separate one from another. When it comes to advice for combating sickness and poor health, Lama Zopa Rinpoche always recommends Medicine Buddha practice. This practice is especially beneficial if you are helping others, especially if you are doing healing work. It helps you to be more accurate and beneficial.
