Dear Friends,
I am pleased to announce the publication of a new translation of Longchenpa's Finding Rest in Meditation (bSam gtan ngal gso), the second volume the Trilogy of Rest (Ngal gso skor gsum).
The translation was done by Helena Blankleder and Wulstan Fletcher of the Padmakara Translation Group and includes their introduction, which provides their characteristic clarity and insight.

Intensive Sanskrit (50 hours) August 6th-17th 2018
The course focuses on Buddhist vocabulary and examples and makes ample use of traditional grammatical categories. Each day will begin with a session of group chanting: proper pronunciation, as well as consistent recitation, will be emphasized. The basic characteristics of different genres (philosophy, literature, etc.) will be briefly introduced, including simple principles of prosody.
Dear colleagues:
The Fo Guang Shan has extended their deadline from the end of March until mid-April. The Fo Guang Buddhist Monastric Retreat will hold their annual monthly monastic retreat at Fo Guang Shan. Participants will have a chance to experience monastic life, Buddhist chanting rituals, Dharma classes, and meditation retreat. Everything is covered save for the airfare and, to reiterate, application will stay open until mid-April, so anyone interested can still apply.
