How do we relate best to a spiritual teacher?

Venerable Robina Courtin: Why We Need a Spiritual Teacher, 22-24 July 2022, ONLINE

As in the study and practice of any body of knowledge, the role of a teacher, a mentor, is crucial to the success of the student. This weekend goes into detail about how to find a qualified spiritual teacher (in Sanskrit, guru; in Tibetan, lama); how to gain confidence in their qualities; and how to devote oneself to them and emulate their qualities: those of a buddha.

Venerable Robina Courtin
Ordained since the late 1970s, Ven. Robina has worked full time since then for Lama Thubten Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche's FPMT. Over the years she has served as editorial director of Wisdom Publications, editor of Mandala Magazine, executive director of Liberation Prison Project, and as a touring teacher of Buddhism. Her life and work with prisoners have been featured in the documentary films Chasing the Buddha and Key to Freedom.

Date and Time: Friday 22 July, 19.30-21.00 BST (UK), Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 July: 15.00-18.00 BST (UK)
