One of my favorite things to watch are the regularly produced "Geshe Tashi's Coronavirus Updates" videos shared on Khen Rinpoche Geshe Tashi Tsering's website.

I'm looking forward to hearing him teach on Facebook Live from Sera Mey Monastery in Bylakuppe, Karnataka State, India where he is abbot. These teachings are organized by Tse Chen Ling Center for Tibetan Buddhist Studies in California.

Schedule

June 6 and 7, 2020

7:00 PM - 9:00 PM PT

The Topic

Khen Rinpoche Geshe Tashi Tsering will teach on "The Four Close Placements of Mindfulness."

The organizers wrote, "Mindfulness of these four helps us overcome grasping an independent self-sufficient 'I.' Khen Rinpoche will guide us through explanations of these four and how to apply them in our lives."

"The Four Close Placements of Mindfulness (dran-pa nyer-bzhag, Skt. smrtyupasthana, Pali: satipatthana)” are the first four of the 37 factors leading to enlightenment (byang-chub yan-lag so-bdun).

1) Mindfulness on the three kinds of bodies
2) Mindfulness of the aggregate of feelings
3) Mindfulness of the aggregate of consciousness
4) Mindfulness of phenomena"

Khen Rinpoche Geshe Tashi Tsering

"Geshe Tashi Tsering was born in born in Purang, West Tibet in 1958. At an early age he fled over the Himalayas with his parents and younger brother to escape the occupation of his country by the Chinese government and its state sponsored destruction of Tibet’s unique culture. This was a dangerous escape route over the Himalayas. Many died from the treacherous conditions.

"He received his early education in schools run by exile Tibetan Government in India. His family moved to a refugee settlement in Karnataka state, South India, and in 1970, Geshe Tashi was among the first to become a monk at the newly established in exile Sera Mey college of Sera monastic university. Together with his fellow monks, under extremely hard physical conditions, he helped re-build this famous monastery and college."
