Tashi Delek Happy Losar!

Please join us on Saturday, May 24, 2025 from 7am to 8am MT USA for the OQ Live Conversation: “The Perfection of Wisdom” with Elizabeth Mattis Namgyel and Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo.

Making an early entrance into Vajrayana Buddhism as a nun, Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo has paved the way for modern Western yoginis and yogins alike. As a teacher, she encourages us, both through her example and teachings, that if we engage dharma training full-heartedly, accomplishment is sure to take hold in us. I am looking forward to joining Jetsuma in conversation and ask her about her life and the teachings on the Perfection of Wisdom.

This event is offered livestream via Zoom in English and in Portuguese simulcast translation.

Bodhisattvas understand the human predicament. While striving to relieve the suffering of all beings, they know that our dynamic world can never be brought to a static state of peaceful equilibrium. As aspiring bodhisattvas, how can we develop a big enough heart and mind to embrace this paradox? How can we engage with both the pain and beauty of life in a healthy way? We will have a weekend to ponder these questions with Elizabeth Mattis Namgyel.

What can we do when the suffering of the world gets overwhelming? In this weekend program, Elizabeth Mattis Namgyel will explore the inspiring story of Avalokiteshvara, a great being who realized the essence of the Buddhist path, called the Way of the Bodhisattva.

Elizabeth will use Avalokiteshvara’s story as a basis for personalizing the methods and liberating insight of the bodhisattva path. Does bringing inquisitiveness to our own impediments necessarily have to be painful? Could it be freeing instead? How does this path help us create grace in our lives?
