  • with Special Guest Teacher: Gen-la Kelsang Jampa

    Sunday 11th August | 11am - 12.15pm | £12 or free for Benefactor Members Although living beings have the same basic wish to be happy all the time, very few people understand the real causes of happiness. We usually believe that external conditions such as food, friends, lovers and money are the real causes of happiness and as a result, devote nearly all our time and energy to acquiring them. Superficially, it seems that these things can make us happy, but if we look more deeply, we will see that they also bring us a lot of suffering and problems. In reality, happiness cannot be bought, it cannot be found anywhere out in the world. It can only be found in our own heart. The real source of happiness is our own mental peace. It is time to Choose Happiness! At this special public talk, internationally renowned Buddhist meditation teacher Gen-la Kelsang Jampa will guide us to this peace. This is the greatest gift we can give ourself and those we love. Session times: 11am - 12.15pm | Public Talk 12.15 - 2pm | Lunch 2 - 2.30pm | Historic Building Tour 3 - 4.15pm | Wishfulfilling Jewel with Tsog

  • Spiritual Protection for our Time | Sat 1 June The teachings of Buddha are called Dharma. Dharma is like a great ship that carries us across the fearful ocean of samsara - life pervaded by suffering and uncontrolled thinking. With a skillful navigator and crew, this voyage takes us beyond the ordinary, to deep levels of insight, freedom and happiness. In the New Kadampa Tradition (NKT) our navigator is Guru Tsongkhapa, ably assisted by the powerful protector Dorje Shugden, known as the protector for our time. On this daycourse, based on the teachings of the NKT 2024 Spring Festival, Gen Kelsang Dornying will introduce us to these powerful beings and explain how to rely upon them in conjunction with the practice of ‘Heart Jewel’. Learn to never be apart from a powerful friend, guide and protector. Everyone is welcome! Session times: 10 - 11.15 am | 11.45 - 1pm | 2 - 3.15pm Wishfulfilling Jewel with Tsog: 4 - 5.15pm Course fee: £25 (free for premium & benefactor members)
