READING GROUPS IN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES

SPANISH
El futuro es libre, Buen karma, mal karma y más allá del karma de Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche

Únete al grupo de lectura en español, leeremos el interesante libro, “El futuro es libre, Buen karma, mal karma y más allá del karma” de Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche. Iniciamos el 14 de noviembre de 2023. Nos reuniremos por Zoom los martes de 7 a 8 pm, hora de la CDMX. Registrate aquí.

Para Trungpa Rinpoche es esencial tener una comprensión correcta del karma, ya que la palabra karma actualmente se relaciona con ideas ingenuas o deterministas de renacimiento, moralidad y culpabilidad. En este libro Rinpoche nos muestra que es posible la liberación, que el futuro nunca está predeterminado y que podemos cortar de raíz el propio karma, causa y efecto. Todo con su original enfoque profundo y perspicaz para presentar las enseñanzas budistas.

If you would like to start a reading group in your own language, please contact outreach@tarastripleexcellence.org.
