My name is Matt Lawson and I have a formal education in Tibetan Buddhist Philosophy and Logic with a Masters Degree from the University of Wisconsin.
I specialize in the Gelupa Tradition, which is one of the four schools of Tibetan Buddhism. Tibetan Buddhism is in the Mahayana Tradition and is perhaps the most complete and formal of all Buddhist practices mirroring the original Buddha.
My “root” teacher is Lama Zopa Rinpoche. I was formally ordained a Buddhist Monk for 5 years before disrobing and coming to China for business purposes to raise funds for the building of 1,000 schools for children with no family.
My intention is to teach anyone about Buddhism. The most beneficial reason for learning Buddhist philosophy is to eliminate mental suffering.
Lam-Rim simply stated will help anyone to not react from basic emotions causing many problems in our daily lives. When we become angry it is our choice and I would like the opportunity to show you how such emotions as “anger” can be controlled. With Buddhism you can even gain great financial wealth by living in harmony with the universe.
Lam-Rim is the supreme way to solve our daily problems and find lasting happiness. Lam-Rim (Stages in the Path) is a clearly formulated explanation of the steps one takes to attain enlightenment. It is inclusive of all the Buddha's teachings laid out in a hierarchy of stages through which the practitioner progresses.
We can go study any part of Buddhism you would like. I teach for free but ask for a 250 RMB per hour donation. All donations will go towards a monastic program to build 1,000 schools for poor children.
