Please join us this Tuesday, September 11th, from 6-9 Lama Gursam will give a public talk at the Ahimsa House, 5007 Cedar Ave. Phialdelphia, PA 19143

Come and learn how to apply Meditation to Everyday life. All are welcome, whether you have a regular meditation practice, or have never even considered meditating. Regardless, this talk will still be of great benefit to increase your everyday awareness, joy, compassion, and calmness. 

This talk will be given by Lama Gursam. Lama Gursam went to monastery at a very young age, and received teachings as a monastic, and studied and practiced as a monastic. Then Lama Gursam went to study in Tibetan University
 Sarnath, Varanasi, India to get both bachelors and masters degrees in Buddhist Philosophy, History, and languages. Upon graduation he received a special award for scholastic achievement from His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

After university Lama Gursam was requested to assist His Holiness the Chetsang Rinpoche. Lama volunteered for five years as an assistant, as a teacher, and helped with many other duties.
Lama Gursam then completed the traditional three year retreat. Since then every year, Lama has gone on retreat in various mountains including some of Milarepa's caves. He then returns for six months each year to provide teachings in the west. He also leads pilgrimages to holy places in India, and Nepal.

Lama teaches in English, and always tries to focus on the practical application of the dharma in everyday life.

This talk is our first event opening the Ahimsa House, a center for conscious, compassionate living in West Philadelphia, all classes, workshops and talks are free!

Any dhana (donation) you can offer for this talk- be it in monetary or energetic form will be much appreciated.

Please spread the word and contact me with any questions!

Peace & Love,
