Unique Opportunity to attend Dan Browns "The Pointing Out Style of Indo-Tibetan Buddhism, Level 1" in Sydney,  14-21 April 2013

For additional information on Dan Brown, the Pointing Out Style Course Descriptions, and worldwide schedule see:

  http://www.pointingoutway.org/

The pointing-out style is an ancient method of teaching meditation, grounded in the wisdom of Tibetan Buddhism and the dynamic relationship between student and teacher. Structured methodology leads the meditator through increasing levels of concentration and insight, to profound “crossing over” instructions, the very gateway to awakening. With roots in Mahamudra and Dzogchen lineages, this 7-day retreat with Dan Brown has been created to give participants both the understanding and the skills required to practice and master these precious teachings.

What: Level 1 Pointing Out Way Retreat 

Where: Chevalier Center, 1 Roma Ave, Kensington NSW 2033 Australia

ABOUT THERAVADA SOCIETY

TS IS A LAY BUDDHIST SOCIETY PRIMARILY DEDICATED TO HELPING SERIOUS-MINDED PEOPLE IN ENGLISH SPEAKING COUNTRIES WHO WANT, FOR WHATEVER REASON, TO LEARN ABOUT THE BUDDHAS TEACHINGS.

Therefore, the main concern of TS is to assist people in getting to the stage of reading the Buddha\'s discourses for themselves. To this end, we produce original introductory material designed to meet the needs of people living in modern western societies. Inevitably, most Buddhist material is written with Asian people in mind.

In contacting, TS in order to learn about the Buddhas Teachings, people may be completely assured that no one is ever asked to become a Buddhist or to accept any Buddhist ideas or practices.
THERE ARE MANY REASONS WHY PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN THE BUDDHAS TEACHINGS

It should be obvious that learning about Buddhism for getting guidance on living more wisely and happily in this world is just one among many different reasons why people seek information about the Buddhas Teachings. For example, students doing research or working on projects, people just interested in Buddhism as part of Asian culture, others having an interest in the history of ideas, people interested in how Buddhist perspectives might relate to their own profession ie economists, psychologists, social workers etc. Many people are just interested in Buddhist perspectives on social problems etc.

INVESTIGATING THE BUDDHA\'S TEACHINGS FOR ONESELF
So, for whatever reason you wish to investigate what the Buddha taught, ALL are equally welcome to apply for the free information pack on Theravada Buddhism- the oldest tradition of Buddhism.

The TS information pack is designed to help people gain a good understanding of the Theravada tradition of Buddhism. After this background information is assimilated one is appropriately prepared to independently investigate the Buddhas Teaching and specifically to start reading the Buddhas discourses (some key examples are given in the information pack) for oneself. Therefore, if you think TS may be able to help you investigate the Buddhas Teachings, then you are most welcome to contact us.

THE TS FREE INFORMATION PACK AND HOW TS CAN OFFER FURTHER HELP

If after studying the information pack, you want to do more reading in Buddhism TS can supply suitable books at modest cost and answer any basic queries which may arise. This service is limited to people new to Buddhisms can also help overseas folk who are interested in learning about the Buddha Teachings.

BUDDHIST TEXTS BY EMAIL WITHOUT ANY OBLIGATION

Of course, everyone is welcome to join our email list which can provide new and/or interesting tests on Buddhism about once every 4-6 weeks- no one is EVER deluged with emails or hassled by this service.( We produce mainly produce introductory material or texts dealing with Buddhism in the modern world.)

Notes and Events:

Teachings at our centre are traditional and authentic, by one of the original Lamas who escaped from Tibet with His Holiness Dalai Lama, Ven Khensur Rinpoche.  He is very ably assisted by Geshe Jampa Gyaltsen, who was carefully chosen by Rinpoche, because of his extremely high academic and philosphical achievements, coupled with his great reverence for the teachings, his spontaneous and accurate insights and soft demeanour. His Holiness has described him as being "ïn the inner circle of my friends.

We usually hold an annual 11 day retreat in October, and many weekend teaching workshops throughout the year.  Ven Rinpoche gives initiations into Highest Yoya Tantra Deities, and various other teaching events.

We also have other classes, run by our Sangha and advanced students: Learn to Meditate, Introduction to Buddhism, Compassion and Medicine Buddha Meditation Days, Healing Meditation Days, Practice Days, Vajrayogini, Yamantaka, Green Tara, Chenrezig, Medicine Buddha Practices, Guru Pujas.
