Special Event

The Kadampa Way of Life

Teachings on Atisha's Advice with Kadam Bridget Heyes, the NKT's UK Spiritual Director

Sunday, February 28, at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Wellington Street, Leeds

The Kadampa Way of Life integrates ancient Buddhist wisdom with modern life in a way that allows practitioners to follow a pure spiritual path within their amily, social and working lives.
Almost 1,000 years ago the famous Indian spiritual teacher Atisha ended his stay in Tibet with a parting gift to his disciples – the special teaching,  Advice from Atisha’s Heart.
This practical, pure spiritual advice still resonates today and can be followed by anyone as a means of making life happier and more meaningful.  

Kadam Bridget Heyes is the UK National Spiritual Direct of the New Kadampa Tradition. She is a dedicated disciple of venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso and has been studying and practising Kadampa Buddhism for many years.

Forgiveness

Saturday, 27 March

Conflict arises often in our lives, but it still seems to have great power to shock and hurt us, sometimes for decades. But the truth is we have a choice about how long we carry our emotional baggage and this course will show us how developing a compassionate attitude towards those who harm us has immeasurable benefit for ourselves and others.

Developing wisdom 

Saturday, 15 May

‘The truth is out there’. Is it? Where? Buddha taught that searching ‘out there’ for the truth is futile – the truth is actually ‘in here’, for our reality is merely an appearance to mind, like an amazing dream. Curious? Come along to this day course to find out more.

A Pure Life - teachings and lay Pratimoksha Vow Ceremony

Sunday, 6 June

If we want to live in a happy and peaceful world we must take responsibility for living our own lives in a peaceful way. Ensuring we don't harm others is the best way of protecting ourselves from suffering, now and in the future. Kelsang Chowang will explain the Buddhist method of doing this, and in the afternoon there will be an opportunity to receive lay Pratimoksha Vows.

Living Meaningfully, Dying Joyfully

Saturday, June 19 

Death is difficult to face so usually we don’t bother. Sadly, this view can’t protect us from death and actually makes us more vulnerable to pain and shock when it inevitably touches our lives. However, by allowing ourselves to contemplate our own death we gradually become more comfortable with the reality of it, and it also serves to help us fill every moment of our lives with meaning and purpose.
