FEATURED TEACHING

SCIENCE OF MIND

Introductory Teachings on Buddhism for Tibetan Students by His Holiness the Dalai Lama is a special two day introductory teaching on Buddhism for the younger generation of Tibetans held on 5-6 June 2008.

This is the second round of Buddhist introductory teachings given by His Holiness after the 1-3 June 2007 teachings at the Tibetan Children's Village. In this talk His Holiness presents the teachings of Buddha through an approach most suitable for inquisitive young minds. Here Buddhism is not just presented and discussed as a religion but as a philosophy and moreover, as a science of mind. This new perspective is not a divergent view from the traditional classification of Buddhism into the trio of foundational, path and the resultant state, but is indeed a complementing understanding that allows the younger generation to develop conviction in the doctrine based on scientific reasoning.

In Introductory Teachings on Buddhism, His Holiness argues that Buddhism and science are not conflicting perspectives on the world, but rather differing approaches to the same end - seeking the truth. In Buddhist training, investigation of the actual reality is of utmost importance. Similarly, modern science offers its own ways to carry on this investigation.

This talk is therefore particularly suited to young Tibetans and anyone with an investigative mind. However, the general nature of the topic entails that this talk is also suitable to all practitioners and interested individuals from beginners to advanced students. (Listen now...)

"Finding Purpose in Life" public talk

Audio Guroo is delighted to make available to you His Holiness the Dalai Lama's "Finding Purpose in Life" public talk held at the Dome, Sydney Olympic Park, on 14th June 2008 during his most recent visit to Australia (also available in Vietnamese and Chinese). More than 6000 people from all walks of life and of different faiths and backgrounds packed the venue to listen to one of the most respected and revered leaders of our time.

"Finding Purpose in Life" is a talk overflowing with great wisdom and practical advice as well as warmth and laughter as His Holiness shares some of his personal experiences with great humour. His Holiness touches on an extensive array of topics from family wellbeing and successful marriages to global over population and climate change. His Holiness even suggests world leaders go on a family holiday together as a means of developing mutual trust and a more peaceful friendlier world!

Pervading the whole talk is the core message that happiness is the purpose of our lives. Therefore, His Holiness explains how shifting from self-centeredness towards sincerely caring for others is a way towards professional success and personal happiness - a meaningful life.

Following the talk, His Holiness takes a number of wide ranging questions from the audience.

EXCLUSIVE to Audio Guroo - Stages of Meditation

Audio Guroo is delighted to make available to you His Holiness the Dalai Lama's latest teachings in Sydney, Australia (11-15 June 2008) on the middle volume of the 9th Century Scholar-Saint Kamalashila's classic treatise "Stages of Meditation" (also available in Vietnamese and Chinese).

In this volume, "Stages of Meditation" presents the essence of the entire Buddhist Path to Enlightenment. It demonstrates how carefully structured and conceptually informed meditation sessions serve as the bridge between the philosophical tenets of Buddhism and practitioners' practical insights, opening the door of philosophy and practice to meditators at all levels. With brevity and clarity, it covers all the main topics from developing compassion, through numerous methods of meditation, to the ultimate realization of full awakening.

Here His Holiness leads us through this essential Mahayana treatise, offering practical advice on the various different procedures and approaches students can take, and how we can develop a properly sequenced spiritual path rather than a scattered, piecemeal one. Wide ranging questions from members of the audience are also answered by His Holiness with great detail and clarity.

We are most grateful to His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Dalai Lama in Australia Ltd for allowing us to make these teachings available here for the benefit of all listeners.
