Awam Tibetan Buddhist Institute

Pielstick hasn’t seen a lot of collaboration between the various Buddhist groups in town, though he and others are making efforts to change that.

Teacher Yogi Lama Gursam will spend a week teaching at the Awam Tibetan Buddhist Institute, 3400 E. Speedway, starting Tuesday, July 18.Β 

He will teach "7 Point Mind Training" 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, July 18 and Wednesday, July 19; "Heart Sutra" 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday, July 20 and Friday, July 21; and "Breathing, Meditation and Yoga" 9 a.m. to noon and 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday July 22 and Sunday July 23. The classes don't repeat day to day, but rather are broken into parts.Β 

There is no registration deadline, but individual teachings cost $20 each, $40 a day Saturday and Sunday, $70 for the whole weekend or $140 for everything, said Jane Stanley, an active member at the institute.Β
