Treasure Valley Dharma Friends is pleased to present

Lama Jhampa Shaneman


                   October 28–November 2


Among the many organizational models of the Buddhist teachings, this profound framework illustrates three core ideas within Buddhism.

These "Three Principal Aspects of the Path" were expressed by Lama Tsongkhapa (1357-1419) in a poem of 14 stanzas.  This classic of Buddhist literature is an extraordinary summary of the Buddhist process of awakening.
