The Power of Wishes

  • Geneva Center for Tibetan Buddhist Studies Vimalakirti Center, Rue Henri-Frédéric-Amiel Genève, GE, 1203 Switzerland (map)

Monday 1 December, 6:30 - 8:30pm

A public lecture suitable for anyone with an interest in following the Buddhist path.

Aspiration is an impulse that leads us towards an ideal. From this impulse we formulate wishes. Do they reinforce our ordinary tendencies or do they lead us towards the best of ourselves?

In Buddhism, wishes take on a whole new dimension: it is about developing all our qualities to bring them to their fullness. Wishes then become a skillful means that helps us to gradually transform our lives and direct our minds towards our own good and that of others.

The Geneva Centre for the Study of Tibetan Buddhism is a branch of Karma Minyur Ling (Montchardon), placed under the spiritual authority of His Holiness Thaye Dorje, the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa, and Lama Teunsang.
