September 10–15, 2003
Thursday September 11, 2003
7:01 pm
Jubilee Center at 309 East 100 South
Salt Lake City, Utah
The first teaching will discuss
The Four Truths
of Enlightened Beings.
This large facility will allow all of those interested
to be able to attend. Please enter from 100 South.
We anticipate the teaching to last until 9:30pm.
This teaching will provide the
Dzogchen View
of the Four Noble Truths. Khenpo Choga Rinpoche
will discuss how these Nobles Truths are the basis
for awakening our minds through Love and Compassion
to all beings. Through the “good thinking”
of wishing all to be happy (love) and wishing
all to be free from suffering (compassion), we
follow a path to our own awakening and enlightenment.
Khenpo Choga Rinpoche will provide the View as
well as provide specific instructions on how to
apply every moment of each day.
Donations are requested. Suggested Donation $20.

a larger group who wish to attend, we will attempt
to relocate to larger space. However, please understand
that we will have to know about this in advance
to make arrangements.
The day will be divided into 3 teachings of no
longer than 2 hours 24 minutes each. Breaks will
take place between the teachings in order for
us to eat and rest. Each teaching will focus on
different portions of the Buddha Path practice.
It is not necessary to attend the Friday evening
teaching to come. While there is great benefit
of gaining a complete introduction to the Practice,
each teaching will be a complete teaching.

liquids, writing paper to take notes. Wear comfortable
clothes appropriate for sitting and meditation.

need to be able to get back in touch with you

Note: Suggested Donations go towards the cost
of bringing Khenpo Choga Rinpoche to Salt Lake
City and cover the cost of the functions. Further,
the Dzogchen Shri Singha Foundation has the ongoing
projects for the building of Dharma Centers in
the United States and support the centers in Tibet,
Nepal, and India.
There is no paid staff of the organization(s).
All people involved in supporting Khenpo Choga
Rinpoche’s teachings are volunteers. If you
want to help, please let us know.
Upon the completion of teachings and accounting
of all donations, we will provide a full accounting
of all funds collected and allocation. It is very
important to Khenpo Choga Rinpoche that everyone
in attendance knows how the funds shall be used.
