Regular classes and one-off events exploring Buddhist practice
Thursday DAYTIME Class:
Eight Verses to Train Your Mind
Thursdays from 14th August for 8 Weeks - 11.00am to 1.15pm
This weekly daytime drop-in class includes many aspects of Buddhist practice which can be helpful to you whether you wish to practice Buddhism or not. Each week begins with a guided meditation, after which Shakyapada will introduce a particular theme for the week. Discussion and questions are encouraged. From 14th August for eight weeks we will be exploring Eight mind-training verses. These belong to the Tibetan Lojong tradition and are a way of using contemplative statements to train the mind so as to let go of greed, hatred and delusion - and the suffering that accompanies these negative qualities.
All over 18 are welcome. No need to book - just turn up when you can.
Special Event:
Padmasambhava Puja and Meditation in the Woods
Friday 26 September 7pm – 9pm
This is the last of our Summer Woodland Meditation and Puja Evenings amongst the trees in Rowntree Park and mostly by candlelight tonight. Do come along and lets end our summer woodland events with a real flourish.
Tonight we will be performing a puja to the Great Guru Padmasambhava. This is a poetical devotional practice which invites us to connect with something much greater than ourselves - in this case the wisdom and devotion of Padmasambhava.
Open to all over 18 - You don’t need to be a Buddhist or intend to be one Booking is essential, so that we can contact you with alternative arrangements in the event of inclement weather.
