10:00 - 15:00 AEST
Nalandra's Saturday program offers a rich and diverse experience of the Buddha's Dharma. Several learning modalities are used to deepen our knowledge and develop wisdom. The program runs during school terms at Nalandra, and is also broadcast online via zoom so you can join from anywhere in the world. For the remainder of term 2, 2023 the program will be free, as a token of appreciation for our ongoing generosity and for being the flag bearers of the past and future while Hezr is away.
Use the link below to join the zoom session from 10:30am.
10:30 Dharma Chakra and Talk by Dagpo Rinpoche
13:00 Lunch Break
14:00 Recorded meditation by Hezr
Dharma Chakra is a unique class where students take turns speaking on a Dharma topic for eight minutes. Students are currently working through Shantideva’s text “the Way of the Bodhisattva”, studying and preparing to speak on 3 verses each week. We have found this class to be a highly effective way to learn about the Dharma through listening and speaking from our unique viewpoints. Students are therefore encouraged to participate, though newcomers are welcome to observe.
Since term 1, 2023 H.E. Dagpo Rinpoche from Taiwan has been joining us to explain the connotations of sutra. He teaches with clarity and patience, assisting greatly with our understanding of the wisdom chapter.
Please contact us to find out more about the program.
If you are a keen liturgist/ composer/ writer or freelance transcriber from anywhere in the world, we have a job for you. Please let us know by emailing nalandrainstitute@gmail.com and we can send you the raw materials that need transcribing. Minor mistakes are acceptable. We can offer $100 AUD for each hour of recordings as a starting point.
HEZR's talks on Shantideva’s verses usually extend for an hour or more and students are invited to transcribe the talk. Also, we are compiling transcripts of his 45-minute meditations and students are asked to help with this. Transcripts can be typed, or hand-written and scanned.
