Wednesday Class: Geshe Tsultim's Commentary on The Foundation of All Good Qualities

‍

In continuation of our late guru Geshe Tsultim Gyeltsen’s weekly Dharma-activity schedule here at the center, GSTDL is happy to announce that we will be offering Wednesday night classes starting on October 22, 2025 from 7:30 to 9:00pm. Sessions will take place in the form of collective reading and discussion and be led by Geshe Lobsang Jampa and Geshe Kunchok Woser. The topic we will be covering is Geshe Tsultim Gyeltsen’s personal commentary on the great Lama Tsong-Khapa’s root verses “The Foundation of All Good Qualities.”

The Foundation of All Good Qualities by Lama Tsongkhapa is a brief text with a vast meaning. It is part of the genre of Buddhist teachings called lam-rim -- the graduated stages of the path. The verses outline a step-by-step approach to spiritual development, from guru devotion and the preciousness of our life, to impermanence, refuge, karma and morality, renunciation, the altruistic intention of bodhicitta, and the wisdom of emptiness. The fourteen-verse text describes the practices that create a solid foundation for dharma practitioners before they enter the vehicle of Tantra that leads to great enlightenment.

Everyone is welcome to attend and copies of the text will be available to all who join the session. The session may be attended in-person or via the Zoom link posted on the top left-side bar options.

We look forward to your presence and encourage all who come to bring writing material for note-taking.
