All three elements of a practice are essential. If we develop all three elements equally, our minds should become more peaceful and more capable of dealing with stress and conflict. During this weekend intensive, Geshe-la will provide instruction and opportunity for discussion about starting or maintaining a Buddhist practice. These teachings are suitable for students just beginning a practice as well as students with more experience Biography: Geshe Ngawang Gyatso joined Sera Je Monastery in India in 1993.
