Basic Tibetan Buddhism

On the Full Moon Day of the Tibetan First Month, it is customary for a high Lama to give a lecture on the previous lives of Lord buddha at the Tsuglakhang in Dharamsala. In Spring 2006, His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama gave this lecture. Who was Shakyamuni ? What counts as Buddhist faith ? What are the Three Jewels ? What are the Four Seals ? How dose one become enlightened ? His Holiness urges us to use our unique human intellect to gain insight into these. He emphasises the development of compassion -the source of well-being and happiness for all.
