Since many of our members are not primarily based in Delhi, I thought of starting I Questions (Internet Questions) where anybody can raise questions and quiries about Buddhism. I am sure all of us have so many doubts and unclear perceptions on Buddhism. whether its a basic concepts or a highly philosophical one, which needs to be clarify. Here is the forum where you can ask Geshe la to clear your doubts.
I will forward your questions to Geshe Dorjee Damdul la and hope Geshe la will give the answer your quiries on Buddhism.
I would request all to strictly ask your questions related to Buddhism. Any unrelated questions will be discarded and moderated.
Once again, let me remind you that our 2nd Buddhist Talk by Geshe la on 'Introduction of Comprehensive Buddhism' will be on 06.30pm, sunday, 06 June 2010 at Japan Gompa, East of Kailash, New Delhi.
Anyone can post their quiries on Buddhism in this blog. Hope to get piles of quiries.

The first lecture on 23rd May went successfully with around 40 participants who were invigorated by Geshe la's introduction on Buddhism. Geshe la touched upon the basic fundamentals of Buddhism such like what is Buddhism, definitions and qualities of three precious jewels; Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. The best part is Geshe la's interpretation of Buddhism, ofcourse with his thorough knowledge and wisdom on buddhism shares realistic approach of relating examples which normally occurs with us.
Geshe la was generous enough to give us his precious time and i believe that such opportunities will not arise later if we miss it.

Buddhist Talk: Daily practices in One's Life
This is the first lecture series of Tibetan Youth Forum. Geshe Dorjee Damdul la, the translator of His Holiness the Dalai Lama will give a talk on "Daily practices in one's life".
Since many of us are buddhist by birth, and even finished our primary education from Tibetan schools, but we did not know much about the daily practices and rituals. We follow our parents and seniors in performing rituals like worshiping altars, reciting prayers, and even prostration with faith but we did not know the meaning of what we are doing.
The talk is followed by question and answer session.
The idea behind this descourse is to know the meaning and purposes of our daily practices.
The inivitation is open to all those who resides in Delhi.
Tea will be served at the venue.
