Why these programs are unique
In 1992, His Eminence Khejok Tulku Rinpoche asked Venerable (Ani-la) Chris to be the resident teacher at the Australian Institute of Tibetan Medical Practices. This position required a user friendly western system of Buddhism to encourage people to change quickly so they could heal.
In Tibetan Buddhism, it is recognised that permanent healing can’t take place unless the root cause of the problem is addressed. Consequently, Venerable (Ani-la) Chris also saw the need to study Western problems and their causes and to explore the most appropriate methods and techniques for Westerners.
After seven years of research Venerable (Ani-la) Chris began the Advanced Overcoming Problems programs, which received recognition nine years later.
About Overcoming Problems
and Meditation
- The programs are not for those who wish to study Buddhism merely intellectually or to collect philosophy. These programs are for those who want to grow in themselves and change.
- Venerable (Ani-la) Chris does not cater to “quick fixes”and “cover-ups”. She encourages students to address the underlying causes of problems, thus solving them completely in a gentle and safe environment.
- She presents the teachings in a way that is inspirational and uncommonly insightful and leaves no room for misunderstanding, so that Buddhism itself doesn’t become a cover-up. The only variable is your own willingness to grow.
- The program also includes contrasting and comparing Western Sciences with Tibetan Buddhism.
All programs on Overcoming Problems are run by donation, as His Holiness the Dalai Lama requested of us in 1992 when he sanctioned the founding of the Institute by His Eminence Khejok Rinpoche.
Overcoming Problems One is a one year program and generally runs for 1.5 to 2 hours.
If the program has been going for a few weeks and you are interested in attending, please phone to see if the course is still open.
Once Overcoming Problems One is completed, students are then able to go on to Overcoming Problems Two.
