Engage Your Ego as an Ally to Healing: September 24th, Thursday, 7:00–8:30 pm

Breaking Through to New Levels of Compassion: September 25th, Friday, 7:00–8:30 pm
Free Congregation of Sauk County, 307 Polk St., Sauk City; Suggested Donation: $15
True compassion is love that heals the wounded worlds and the beings existing in them. The limited self can only gain a tiny portion of compassion. We need to have the courage to leave behind our current understanding of compassion in order to break through to our next level. Don't miss this wonderful opportunity to learn something new.
Tonglen Half-Day Seminar: September 26th, Saturday 1:00–4:30 pm
Joyful Path Healing Center, 11000 Division St., Blue Mounds Suggested Donation: $50
This ancient healing technique of “taking” and Giving” upon the breath is useful in any setting. It alleviates the suffering of others but also reduces our own self-cherishing. Self-cherishing or selfishness, is our biggest obstacle to self-realization or enlightenment. Hence, Tonglen addresses two problems at once. Come and learn the practice of Tonglen from Domo Geshe Rinpoche, a master of the healing art.
The Self and Enlightenment: September 27, Sunday 3:00–4:30 pm
The Green Vine, 102 4th Ave., Baraboo; Suggested Donation: $15
Some claim the ‘self’ disappears when we become enlightened. Others say that it is the 'self' that becomes enlightened. So what's the actual relationship of the 'self' to the process of enlightenment? Be present to listen or join a discussion of this Tibetan Buddhist perspective.
