About
A Glimpse of Emptiness, with Venerable Sangye Khadro
21 + 22 October 2023, ONLINE event
Emptiness of inherent existence is the actual way that everything exists—I, others, and all the things in the world. But we normally see things in the opposite way, as if they have real, objective, inherent existence. This is our basic problem, and it gives rise to all other mental afflictions and all suffering. Therefore it is very important to gain an understanding of emptiness, to free ourselves and all other beings from suffering. This course will offer a glimpse into this crucial and fascinating topic.
Venerable Sangye Khadro (Kathleen McDonald) was born in California, and began studying Buddhism in 1973 Dharamsala, India. She was ordained as a Buddhist nun in Kopan Monastery, Nepal, in 1974. She has studied Buddhism with various teachers such as Lama Zopa Rinpoche, Lama Thubten Yeshe, and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. At the request of her teachers she began teaching in 1979, and since then has taught in many countries around the world. She was a resident teacher at Amitabha Buddhist Centre, in Singapore, for 11 years. She is the author of two books published by Wisdom Publications, How to Meditate, and Awakening the Kind Heart. She completed the Masters Program in Instituto Lama Tsong Khapa, Italy, in 2013, and is currently residing at Sravasti Abbey in Washington, USA.
