Tibet House US is honored to be hosting His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama for a one-day teaching on Monday, May 4 (2 sessions, 9:30-11:30 and 2:00-4:00pm)

The Quintessence of Compassion: His Holiness will give a discourse on universal compassion, sNying-rje Chen-po, Universal Great Heart, the essence of the Buddha's teaching. He will base this teaching on Master Chandrakirti's (7th century) famous opening verses of his Introduction to the Middle Way, where the great sage of Nalanda University pays homage to compassion above all, and gives a beautiful simile about the three types of great compassion, using the image of the moon reflected in the water of a pond.
