The Four Noble Truths from the Perspective of Shravakayana, Mahayana and Dzogchen
Nov 10-17, 2013

The Four Noble Truths comprise the basis and fundamental structure of all the Buddha’s teachings. More accurately translated as the “four realities for aryas” (those who have gained direct realization of nirvana), these are the four topics the Buddha taught when he first turned the Wheel of Dharma to his five close disciples in Sarnath, shortly after
his enlightenment.

During this week-long retreat, Lama Alan Wallace explains how these four realities are understood from the perspective of the Shravakayana, the Mahayana and the Vajrayana, or Buddhist tantra, culminating in the Great Perfection, or Dzogchen.

The retreat is available with streaming audio recordings, streaming video recordings or as a DVD.

The Four Noble Truths from the Perspective of Shravakayana, Mahayana and Dzogchen
Nov 10-17, 2013

The Four Noble Truths from the Perspective of Shravakayana, Mahayana and Dzogchen comprise the basis and fundamental structure of all the Buddha’s teachings. More accurately translated as the “four realities for aryas” (those who have gained direct realization of nirvana), these are the four topics the Buddha taught when he first turned the Wheel of Dharma to his five close disciples in Sarnath, shortly after his enlightenment. These topics are the realities of suffering, the source of suffering, the cessation of suffering at its source and the path to that cessation.

During this week-long retreat, Lama Alan Wallace explains how these four realities are understood from the perspective of the Shravakayana, which corresponds closely to the Buddha’s teachings as preserved in the Pali Canon (the basis of Theravada Buddhism), the Mahayana (with its emphasis on on the bodhisattva way of the life culminating in the perfection of wisdom) and the Vajrayana, or Buddhist tantra, culminating in the Great Perfection, or Dzogchen.

Lectures on these topics are complemented with guided meditations and group discussions.

The retreat is available with streaming audio recordings, streaming video recordings or as a DVD.
