[Reader-list] Dharma Celebration on Sunday 9th with His Holiness the Dalai Lama

[rohitrellan at aol.in]

Tushita Mahayana Meditation Centre, established in New Delhi in 1979 by 
Tibetan teachers Lama Thubten Yeshe and Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche, is 
delighted to announce its 19th Dharma Celebration with His Holiness the 
Dalai Lama at 3pm on Sunday the 9th January 2011 at The Sir Shankar Lal 
Hall, Modern School, Barakhamba Road, New Delhi. 
 
 
Tushita was established to repay the two major kindnesses of the 
historic Indian people-the transmission of Buddhism from India to Tibet 
  from the 7th to the 11th centuries and the granting of asylum to His 
Holiness and more than one lakh Tibetan refugees from 1959 onwards. 
Tushita does this by making freely available the authentic philosophy 
and practice of Buddhism to Indian and international students on a 
weekly basis as well as by having regular Dharma celebrations where the 
public at large have the opportunity to hear firsthand The Dalai Lama 
whom many would consider  the greatest living exponent of the ancient 
wisdom heritage of India. 
 
This year’s Talk is titled “The Different Levels of Happiness”. It will 
challenge us to consider whether the usual avenues to happiness that we 
take-wealth, property, power, sex and status-really have the ability to 
confer lasting satisfaction and meaningful fulfilment. Can we create 
the causes for happiness without over-exploiting the planet and each 
other? The Dalai Lama maintains great compassionate warmth, infectious 
humour and genuine cheerfulness in the face of his tremendous 
responsibilities for his 6 million suffering Tibetans as well as people 
worldwide. How he does that is not magic. He maintains that each of us 
has the ability to achieve a happy state through training of the human 
mind. Please come and hear His Holiness explain how lasting unshakeable 
happiness can be achieved.
