Teaching Dates announced for His Holiness's 2011 Australian Visit

His Holiness will be returning to Australia in June 2011

The 2011 visit will commence in Melbourne, where the Teachings, A Bodhisattva Way of Life by Shantideva will be held over the Queen’s birthday long weekend.

In the whole of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, there is no single treatise more deeply revered or widely practiced then A Bodhisattva way of Life by Shantideva.

Over the course of the weekend, His Holiness will explore the six perfections that provide the basis for the Bodhisattva way of life - generosity, ethics, patience, zeal, meditative concentration and wisdom.

His Holiness has stated, "If I have any understanding of compassion and the practice of the Bodhisattva path, it is entirely on the basis of this text that I possess it".

Saturday 11th through to Monday 13th June 2011 - Venue to be announced

His Holiness will also be visiting Brisbane and Perth - further details to be announced in the coming months.
