Information about the retreat: https://www.tibetanskbuddhism.se/meditation-retreat-with-stephan-pende-wormland/ ABOUT THE BOOKS: "His Holiness the Dalai Lama https://www.dalailama.com/ has been publicly teaching Buddhism for decades. The Library of Wisdom and Compassion collects his presentations of every step of the path to enlightenment, compiled and coauthored by one of his chief Western disciples, the American nun Thubten Chodron. https://thubtenchodron.org/ The Buddha wanted his students to investigate, to see for themselves whether what he said were true. As a student of the Buddha, the Dalai Lama promotes the same spirit of investigation, and as the rich tradition of the Buddha makes its way into new lands and cultures, His Holiness has recognized that new approaches are needed to allow seekers in the West to experience the relevance of the liberating message in their own lives. Such an approach cannot assume listeners are free from doubt and already have faith in Buddhism’s basic tenets. The Library of Wisdom and Compassion series, therefore, starts from the universal human wish for happiness and presents the dynamic nature of the mind. This first volume also provides a wealth of reflections on Buddhist history and fundamentals, contemporary issues, and the Dalai Lama’s own personal experiences. It stands alone as an introduction to Buddhism, but it also provides a foundation for the systematic illumination of the path in the volumes to come.” Vol 1: Approaching the Buddhist path - www.wisdompubs.org/book/approaching-buddhist-path/ Vol 2: The foundation of Buddhist practice - www.wisdompubs.org/book/foundation-buddhist-practice/ Vol 3: Samsara, Nirvana and Buddha Nature. - www.wisdompubs.org/book/samsara-nirvana-and-buddha-nature/ Vol 4: Following in the Buddhas footsteps - https://wisdomexperience.org/product/following-in-the-buddhas-footsteps/ ABOUT STEPHAN PENDE WORMLAND: Stephan Pende Wormland is MA in clinical psychology and trained in Gestalt therapy.
