Dalai Lama gives sermons on Buddhism in Dharamsala
Dharamsala:
Dalai Lama began the three-day sermons on Buddhist teachings at the Main Tibetan
Temple (Tsuglagkhang) at the request of a Korean group, which he referred to as
'œour Korean Dharma friends'. "Traditionally Korea and other Asia Pacific countries
are Buddhists. During these years, it is very important to understand the Buddhism
in depth. It is very important to know the text thoroughly that's why we need
to teach thoroughly from here," said Tenzin, a monk. More than 3000 devotees including
Chinese Buddhists, 300 Koreans, 1400 visiting tourists, Tibetan Buddhist monks
and nuns attended the prayers. "These teachings are very important because these
are for nobility and truth. For me, it has been after such a long time that I
get this opportunity," said B. Tsering, former president, The Tibetan Women's
Association (TWA).
