Upcoming Events

THE SHANTIDEVA STUDY AND DISCUSSION GROUP

Please join us Wednesday evenings at 7PM as the Shantideva Discussion Group continues with Geshe Thinley Namgyal. This group is always relaxed and fun. We read verses from the text out loud, and students are asked to give their own commentary and have an opportunity to ask Geshe la questions directly. There are lively discussions and debates with Geshe la and the other students.

We will meet at 7PM in the second floor living room. When you arrive at the temple don’t try to enter through the front doors. Instead, please walk up the driveway on the left and enter the building through the side door which will be open.

This group is free and open to all. Extra copies of the text (The Bodhicharyavatara) will be on hand to lend for those who need one.

About Us

A Buddha Relic Temple located in Central New York

It is said that merely seeing the relics of Lord Shakyamuni Buddha is the same as seeing the Buddha himself. Buddha relics are the crystallized remains that formed after the Buddha’s holy body was cremated in India over 2500 years ago. These relics are known to have tremendous power and can bring great blessings to individuals and the surroundings. Offered to Thekchen Choling Syracuse by Singha Thekchen Namdrol Rinpoche in 2014, the temple houses a small collection of Buddha relics on its altar for public viewing. Visitors to the temple are welcome and encouraged to sit, meditate and feel the Buddha’s blessings in the presence of these precious relics. (In special circumstances and upon request, these relics can be taken out into the community to hospitals, nursing homes and animal shelters to give blessings to those beings who are sick, dying or suffering in other ways.)

Our mission is to practice and propagate the Buddhadharma for the fulfillment of self and others.
