FIRESIDE CHAT with Dome Geshe Rinpoche: Meditation & the Evolutionary Journey (Giraffes & Friends)

​There are two primary reasons why living beings are born into this world:
to learn the true nature of compassion and to learn how to get along with one another.

Creating a happier healthier world cannot be accomplished by forcefully changing the outer world; rather it is only possible through the process of individual transformation.

Join us for this enlightening conversation with Dome Geshe Rinpoche to talk about the evolutionary journey to perfection and Buddhist meditation practices that provide time-tested methods for making swift progress. Spiritual friends are indispensable on this journey for correcting any number of errors that may arise in a meditation practice. A short chanting of the mantra of compassion will also be introduced.
