with Resident Teacher Gen Kelsang Wangpo
Event : $30 | Member Benefits Apply

This course will explore the significance of living a purposeful life based on Buddha’s profound presentation of the Wheel of Life. The Wheel of Life is a work of Buddhist art, created by Buddha as a gift for a king who had everything (but not wisdom). During this course, we can partake of the wisdom that Buddha shared in this painting, and increase our understanding of our own life and what lies beyond our death.
The event will conclude with a potluck dinner, allowing participants to come together, eat delicious food, and share their experiences.
