10-Day Group Study Retreat on Heart Sutra with Emphasis on Bodhicitta and Wisdom of Emptiness (In Tibetan)
Teacher
Venerable Geshe Dorji Damdul is one of the most popular teachers of the Tibetan Buddhist Nalanda tradition and a distinguished Buddhist scholar whose interest lies in the relation between Buddhism and science, especially in physics.
Geshe la is currently the Director of Tibet House, New Delhi, The Cultural Centre of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. He has a Geshe Lharampa degree (equivalent of a PhD) from Drepung Loseling, in Mundgod, Karnataka, and was an interpreter for His Holiness for five years.
Course content
The Outstation Study Programmes of Tibet House, New Delhi are specifically designed for those seeking a comprehensive study of Buddhist Philosophy.
While Tibet House has previously organized numerous group study retreats in English, they are now responding to requests from their Tibetan-speaking audience by conducting a 10-day Bodhicitta Retreat, focusing on Bodhicitta and the Wisdom of Emptiness, in Tibetan language, here at Root Institute.
Tibet House expresses this course start date as 27 January, since Geshe-la will begin classes that morning.
Please note that check-in at Root Institute is 26 January.

Course / retreat discipline
We welcome your application to participate in our Spiritual Programme.
We now offer all Dharma events without charge, however we do require bookings for planning purposes.
To make the most of the opportunity, we suggest the following:
-
Settle all outside communication before you begin your course or retreat. Telling friends and family that you will be out of contact for the duration will significantly help to reduce distractions. Likewise, settling your travel arrangements, etc. before you come to Root Institute is highly advisable.
-
To maintain a healthy, calm, clear mind, observing silence will bring conducive mental space.
-
Practicing Dharma is a source of happiness; enjoy each step along the way!

Thank you for your interest in Root Institute's Spiritual Programme. We'll do our best to support you!
