We will continue our study of the “128 Evil and Erroneous Views” from the Supreme and Unsurpassable Mahamudra of Liberation (SAUMOL) Sunday, February 7, 2021 starting at 2:00 pm. The Buddha Master has said that you will not become enlightened in this lifetime if you hold any of these views. They should be used to evaluate all Buddhist masters, rinpoches, and dharma kings as well as any Buddhist texts or translations of texts, commentaries, or sutras. However, they should mostly be used to evaluate your own mind, speech, and behavior.

We will continue this series that we started last week with six erroneous and five evil views related to “Breaking the Precepts.” We will hold a debate and a session reflecting on what we learned from these series of classes and those remaining after we discuss each of them. You can find the short Dharma Discourses that the Buddha Master gave on each of the following views by clicking the title.
