Special Events
Gelong Thubten will continue with the Lojong teachings over the next few months, and each session will contain explanations of theory as well as practical meditation techniques, so that participants will be guided in a step-by-step process which helps bring the practice to life.
Whether or not you attended Lama Rinchen's teaching, and even if you cannot make every session, you are all most welcome to participate, although attending the whole course will be of the most benefit. The course will be of interest to Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike, as well as both beginners and more experienced practitioners.
Useful course material will include the book 'The Great Path of Awakening' by Jamgon Kongtrul. It is advisable not to read ahead prior to the sessions, so that participants can approach the instructions without preconceived ideas.

The teachings of the great 11th Century Tibetan yogi Milarepa are still practised today, and show us what is needed to gain inner peace and mental stability.
Milarepa's Song of Happiness describes how we can become free of habitual reactivity, unhelpful emotional patterns, and limited ways of seeing ourselves and others.
Lama Zangmo will explain this topic and how it relates to our own lives. The course is suitable for anyone interested in gaining a better understanding of the purpose and benefits of Buddhist meditation.

The Noble Eightfold Path contains eight interrelated aspects that make up the 'skilful living' which the Buddha taught is necessary to uproot suffering and its causes, and thus to sever the cycle of conditioned existence.
It comprises the three essentials of Buddhist training: ethical conduct, mental training and wisdom.
This introduction to Buddhism is suitable for anyone wanting to get a better understanding of the Buddhist teachings and how we can apply them to our own lives.
