## About Applying Dharma to Daily Life

Our sessions focus on 'Practical Buddhism for Everyday Life' and our 'Happiness Series,' specifically designed to bridge the gap between ancient texts and modern challenges. We do not just talk theory; we discuss how to handle ego, workplace toxicity, and emotional burnout. Whether you join us in our air-conditioned Domlur prayer hall or via Zoom, you get access to the same teachings that help us navigate our busy city lives with a bit more patience and perspective.

At Choe Khor Sum Ling, we believe the Dharma is not meant just for a monastery; it is meant for the office, the home, and every stressful meeting in between. Our approach is grounded in the Tibetan Mahayana tradition, but we keep the application firmly rooted in the realities of living in Bangalore.

Our weekend series, such as 'Practical Buddhism for Everyday Life,' offers a consistent space to regroup. You might find us breaking down texts like the Lojong (Mind Training) on a Saturday, followed by a Sunday discussion on how to maintain your calm when your inbox is overflowing. We have a 'Happiness Series' that frequently tackles the trickier parts of our day—managing negative emotions, navigating ego-driven workplace conflicts, and finding resilience when things feel toxic.

We maintain a hybrid model because we know that city traffic is rarely conducive to peace. You can attend our sessions in person at our Domlur center, where we provide floor cushions and a quiet prayer hall, or join us live on Zoom. Our sessions are led by senior teachers and Geshes, ensuring that while the content is accessible, it remains authentic to the lineage.

We run purely on community generosity. There is no gatekeeping here; if you are curious, you are welcome. We do not believe in turning anyone away, and we invite you to be part of our Dharma family, regardless of your background or experience level.

## About Choe Khor Sum Ling

We are a close-knit Dharma family dedicated to making the Buddha's teachings accessible to everyone in Bangalore. Our doors in Domlur are always open, and if you cannot make it physically, you will find the same welcoming warmth in our live Zoom sessions.
