How to practice Tibetan Buddhism (how beginners can start)
from Buddhist Wisdom, Modern Life · host Claire Villarreal, PhD
If you’ve ever wondered how to “get serious” about practicing Tibetan Buddhism, you might be relieved to know that you don’t have to become a monk or nun, and you don’t have to spend the rest of your life in a cave. In this episode, I’ll talk with Aaron of the organization Dharma Gates on what’s involved when you want to become a serious student of Tibetan Buddhism, including how to connect with a teacher and community. We’ll have a live conversation about this on June 30, and you can find registration info in the show notes. Plus if you’re new to Buddhism, I have some free mini-courses you might be interested in. There’s a link to them, too. I hope this conversation answers some of the questions you might have about getting started in this wonderful tradition. Register for the live call on June 30 (donations welcome): https://www.dharma-gates.org/upcomingevents Check out my free mini-courses & resources: https://geni.us/freecourses Recommended dharma centers and teachers in Tibetan traditions: Dawn Mountain (dawnmountain.org) Tara Mandala (taramandala.org) Natural Dharma Fellowship (naturaldharma.org) Mayum Mountain (mayummountain.org) Lama Rod Owens (lamarod.com) May you and all beings be well.
