In the words of Gaden Shartse Tour Director Lobsang Wangchuk, "Every action with our body, speech and mind leaves a latent imprint that will ripen sometime in the future. Negative action that is done today will bear negative fruit later. For example, lying is one of the four negative actions of speech. The effect of lying is we will stop trusting people, we will begin to think that other people are lying to us and when we hear the truth we will think it is a lie."

 

"The Lama will present a lecture on cause and effect so that we can examine our actions and think about their future results. In Buddhism there is no accidents. Everything is caused by our own actions. We have caused everything, so then we can change it."

 

Suggested donation for all public teachings is $15, Suggested donation for music, dance and multi-media performance $20.

 

Business blessings, house blessings, land blessings and personal healings available by appointment. Contact: Sunny Lewis,
