About Event:

Chenrezig Institute is extremely honoured to announce the weekend event with the most Venerable Geshe Doga-la. Geshela as kindly accepted our request to return to Chenrezig Institute over two days offering White Tara Long Life Empowerment on Saturday 1st and Vajrasattva Jenang (permission to practice)on Sunday 2nd.

Glorious White Tara is the healer of all ills and giver of long life.

She embodies pure heart-warming love and the perfect wisdom of enlightenment in female form. She brings peace and compassion to all beings – emanating a soothing white radiance like the full moon. Tara is everything beautiful condensed into one.

The practice and teachings of White Tara will be valuable in everyday life and can help bring greater clarity, calm and inner-joy. Students who  practice of White Tara will increase their spiritual vitality, intensify their capacity for compassion, and overcome fears, including the fear of death.

About the Teacher:

Venerable Geshe Lobsang Dorje Doga was born in July 1935 in a small village called Khanze, situated in a valley in the remote Kham region of North-East Tibet. He arrived in Australia on January 1, 1983, having been invited by  Lama Yeshe to become the resident teacher at Atisha Centre, our sister centre near Bendigo. 

Geshe Doga became resident teacher at Tara Institute (Melbourne) in September 1984.  His first teachings were from Shantideva’s “Guide to a Bodhisattva’s Way of Life” and “Lo Rig” or mind and its functions.

Over the years, Tara Institute has grown enormously thanks to the confidence that Geshe Doga’s patient and lucid guidance Lama Zopa Rinpoche always asks us to treasure Geshela and to heed his advice.
