SUMMARY:Events for May 2025 – Jamyang London Buddhist Centre
DESCRIPTION:Events for May 2025 – Jamyang London Buddhist Centre« All Events\nDiscovering Buddhism\nMay 5 @ 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm\nDiscovering Buddhism is an FPMT Buddhist Study Programme on the fundamental aspects of the Buddhist path.\nWhy Discovering Buddhism?\nBuddhist teachings are vast. They encompass various lineages and transmissions\, enormous scriptural cannons\, ancient commentarial traditions and an array of subject matter that includes philosophy\, psychology and practice.\nMaking sense of this ocean of knowledge can be intimidating. Fortunately\, the master\, Atisha systematised the essential elements into a navigable map\, outlined in the order they are to be practiced by a student of Buddhism.\nDiscovering Buddhism\, a course developed by FPMT\, uses this sophisticated approach (known as Lam Rim) as its basis\, giving students a complete picture of the Buddhist path and how its components fit together.\nHow to join?\nThe next cycle of the “Discovering Buddhism” programme is just around the corner\, scheduled for May 2025.\nPlease sign up to the Jamyang newsletter to be notified of when registration opens.\n“Discovering Buddhism” class of 2022-2023.\nGeshe Tenzin Namdak\, Resident Teacher of Jamyang London Buddhist Centre.\nAbout the Teacher\nOur courses and classes on Buddhist philosophy and practice rely on a skilled teacher to bring them to life. We’re extremely fortunate to have a supremely qualified Resident Teacher to do just that.\nAfter completing his university studies in Hydrology\, Geshe Tenzin Namdak worked as an environmental researcher in the Netherlands. He began studying Buddhism at Maitreya Institute and was eventually ordained by His Holiness the Dalai Lama before completing the 20-year Geshe degree at Sera Jey monastic university in India\, as well as the traditional one-year Vajrayana study program at Gyume Tantric College.\nFew people can combine this extensive Buddhist education with rigorous scientific training. The result is Geshe Tenzin Namdak’s unique teaching style\, which is at once incisive\, clear\, warm and humorous.\nA mural of Lama Atisha\, originator of the Lam Rim textual tradition.\nThe Syllabus\n1. Mind and Its Potential	6. All About Karma	11. Transforming Problems\n2. How to Meditate	7. Refuge in the Three Jewels	12. Wisdom of Emptiness\n3. Presenting the Path	8. Establishing a Daily Practice	13. Introduction to Tantra\n4. The Spiritual Teacher	9. Samsara and Nirvana	14. Special Integration Experiences\n5. Death and Rebirth	10.

SUMMARY:The Precious Garland of the Sublime Path: The Oral Instructions of Lord Gampopa
DESCRIPTION:4 Sundays with Geshe Lhakdor – open to all levels of practitioners: beginners and experienced alike.\nOnline Event only! \nThank you to our FPMT sister center Shantideva New York for organising and hosting this special course with Geshe Lhakdor la. We are delighted to co-host it together with our sister centers Jamyang Buddhist Centre\, London and Tushita Mahayana Meditation Centre\, Delhi. \n“The Precious Garland of the Sublime Path is\, in general\, a condensation of the complete key points of all levels of Buddhist training. More particularly\, it contains oral instructions that can reach our very hearts and reveal our hidden faults.” — Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche \nThe Precious Garland of the Sublime Path is an essential guide to Buddhist practice\, covering the main ideas of Buddhist training from the fundamental tenets to the most subtle points. Crafted by the renowned 12th-century master Gampopa\, a disciple of the legendary Milarepa\, these oral instructions weave together explanations of Buddhist sutras with the profound meditation instructions of Mahamudra. \nTrue to the traditions of Tibetan Buddhism\, it is structured as a set of 28 memorable lists. Those who contemplate their meaning will uncover valuable truths about their own spiritual journeys\, including: \nTen Things to Persevere In\nTen Things to Inspire Yourself\nTen Ways to Destroy Yourself\nDelve into the deeper meanings of this beautiful composition with Geshe Lhakdor and experience the teachings in their original lineage\, just as they were intended.

SUMMARY:City Weekend: Karma
DESCRIPTION:Everything comes from the mind!\n“Everything depends on your motivation. The way you think creates your karma\, and your karma creates your life. By transforming your mind\, you can change your world.” – Lama Zopa Rinpoche \nKarma is the universal law of cause and effect\, wherein every thought\, word\, and action that we have and do create imprints in our consciousness that shape our present and future experiences. Tibetan Buddhism explains that due to this\, our mind then projects positive\, negative or neutral onto everything we encounter through our senses – and then happiness and suffering are activated.  \nBy understanding this\, we can see how things are more fluid and changeable than we may think. As a result\, we can start fostering a sense of responsibility and intentionality in our lives and start living with more awareness and mindfulness.  \nDuring this weekend\, Ven. Amy Miller will guide us through teachings and meditations on profound Buddhist concepts drawn from the unique teachings of Lama Zopa Rinpoche\, one of the founders of the FPMT. Ven. Amy will also offer study and meditation techniques of daily mindfulness practices to take home. This program is ideal for anyone who wishes to ignite or deepen their personal practice by relying on Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s heart advice.  \nYour teacher\nVenerable Amy Miller is a beloved spiritual teacher\, practitioner and Buddhist nun in the Tibetan tradition. She has dedicated her life to sharing the profound teachings of Buddhism with the world. With her gentle presence\, insightful wisdom and compassionate heart\, she has touched the lives of many around the world\, inspiring them to find inner peace and help transform their minds.  \nMore information about Ven. Amy Miller\, click here.  \nPractical information\nDates and times:\nFriday May 2 19.00 – 20.30 hrs (only online)\nSaturday May 3 10.00 – 16.00 hrs\nSunday May 4 10.00 – 16.00 hrs\nLocation: both at our center in Amsterdam and via Zoom.\nLanguage: English\nStudy materials & recordings: The classes will be recorded (audio and video) and provided to you as well as the study materials\nRegistration: You can register for the whole weekend\nLast-minute registration: Please also send an email to amsterdam@maitreya.nl\, to ensure we can send you the necessary Zoomlink and materials in time to join the class.\nDonation\nDāna (generosity) is one of the cornerstones of the Buddhist path. By virtue of their generosity\, the Buddha and the ordained sangha offer us the teachings\, and in exchange\, the lay community supports Dharma centers and the monastic community. This interdependence is essential for us to share the Dharma and continue our work to benefit all sentient beings. With your donation we support our teachers in their cost of living and we uphold our dharma center\, which is managed entirely by volunteers. \nThe suggested donation for this weekend is €85. For students and people with low income\, the suggested donation is €60. Please send us an email if you’d like to make use of this option. Keep in mind that the donation amount should never be an obstacle to your access to the Dharma. Please contact us if it might be an obstacle for you. \nOther teachings by Ven.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Tantra
DESCRIPTION:An advanced approach to enlightenment\nTantra in our tradition refers to a unique higher-level system of spiritual practice that can streamline one’s path to enlightenment. Incorporating rituals\, meditation\, mantra recitation\, and visualization\, we can transform ordinary activities\, emotions\, and challenges into opportunities for swift spiritual growth. Tantra trains practitioners to view all phenomena as inherently pure and sacred. This perspective breaks down dualistic thinking and fosters a profound sense of interconnectedness and reverence for life. Due to its emphasis on the union of wisdom and compassion it is considered an accelerated path to enlightenment. \nIn this 3-class course you will learn: \nwhat tantra is\nhow it works\nwhy it is a powerful form of practice\nabout the four classes of tantra\nto practice simple Kriya tantric methods\nto integrate tantra with Lamrim meditation for optimal results.\nYour teacher\nVenerable Amy Miller is a beloved spiritual teacher\, practitioner and Buddhist nun in the Tibetan tradition.

SUMMARY:The 4 Noble Truths & Their 16 Characteristics - Yeshin Norbu
DESCRIPTION:The 4 Noble Truths & Their 16 CharacteristicsThe 4 Noble Truths & Their 16 Characteristics\nThis in-depth intermediate level course will deepen your understanding of the Four Noble Truths and their 16 characteristics. The Four Noble Truths are the foundational teachings of Buddhism\, offering profound insight into the nature of suffering\, its causes and the path to liberation.\nCourse Details\nAbout This Course\nThe course will offer a comprehensive exploration of these core teachings\, guiding you through their profound implications for both personal transformation and spiritual practice. Learning the Four Noble Truths can offer a range of profound benefits that can transform your approach to life and spiritual practice\, such as:\nClarity on the nature of suffering: By gaining insight into why suffering arises\, you can begin to release attachment to things that are impermanent and avoid unnecessary suffering in your life.\nPath to liberation: Learning this path helps you cultivate ethical conduct\, mental discipline\, and wisdom\, fostering a life of greater peace and fulfillment.\nDeepened compassion & wisdom: By understanding the interconnectedness of all beings and the causes of suffering\, you naturally develop greater compassion and empathy. The teachings also lead to wisdom by showing you how to see things as they truly are\, beyond the surface-level appearance of phenomena..\nTransformation of perspective: Instead of viewing difficulties as obstacles\, you begin to see them as opportunities for spiritual growth and a means of developing resilience and inner strength.\nYour Teacher\nVenerable Khadro brings years of experience teaching Buddhist philosophy and meditation in the tradition of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Her clear and practical approach makes profound Buddhist concepts accessible to modern students.

SUMMARY:Retraite de Bodhicitta et de Tara blanche (VIA ZOOM)
DESCRIPTION:Retraite de Bodhicitta et de Tara blanche (VIA ZOOM)>>> Sur cette page est présentée la retraite VIA ZOOM\, vous pouvez aussi participer SUR PLACE <<<\nNotez que via zoom les sessions de groupes de discussion et de pratiques corporelles ne sont pas incluses.\nRetraites offertes par Paula Chichester et Vén. Thubten Lhamo\nRetraite en deux temps :\ndu vendredi 18 au mercredi 23 avril\, retraite de Bodhicitta guidée par Paula puis par Vén. Lhamo\ndu mercredi 23 au soir au dimanche 27 avril\, retraite de Tara blanche guidée par Paula\nLa première retraite est une préparation à la retraite de Tara Blanche. Les étudiants peuvent faire l'une ou l'autre des retraites\, ou les deux. Il n'est pas nécessaire d'avoir pris d’initiation pour participer à cette retraite de Tara Blanche. Elle est ouverte à tous.\nRetraite de Bodhicitta :\nLama Thubten Yéshé nous a incités à valoriser le développement de bodhicitta plus que tout autre quête dans la vie. Bodhicitta ou l'esprit de bodhi désigne l'esprit qui réside dans la compassion et l'amour\, et est unifié à la sagesse de l'ouverture ou de la vacuité.\nAu cours de cette retraite\, j'aimerais partager avec vous les méthodes que j'ai apprises pour soutenir et développer l'expérience de bodhicitta\, de la paix intérieure\, du bien-être et de l'ouverture.\nEn tant qu’individu issu de la société moderne\, j'ai dû faire l’expérience de techniques qui préparent et nourrissent notre système nerveux afin que les entraînements tibétains classiques de transformation de l'esprit deviennent plus que des entraînements ancrés uniquement dans les pensées\, mais afin que ces idées fassent partie intégrante de ce que nous sommes\, et pas seulement de ce que nous pensons.\nPour participer à ce court atelier\, il n'est pas nécessaire d’avoir suivi au préalable un enseignement quelconque\, il suffit de venir avec un esprit ouvert et un cœur qui aspire à se sentir épanoui et libre\, libre de ressentiment\, de désir et d'incertitude. C’est la paix intérieure qui créera un monde de paix.\nRetraite de Tara blanche :\nUne fois que nous avons goûté à Bodhicitta\, comment pouvons-nous maintenir et renforcer ce précieux état d’esprit dans nos vies ? Comment pouvons-nous créer les causes et les conditions pour que cette Bodhicitta croisse et se développe dans notre expérience ? Tara blanche est une méthode de méditation qui répond à cet objectif. De nombreux lamas et méditants tibétains pratiquent Tara blanche même s'ils ont par ailleurs une autre déité principale. Tara blanche améliore et renforce notre santé\, notre longévité\, notre bien-être et nos réalisations.\nLa première retraite constitue un préliminaire à la retraite de Tara Blanche\, il est possible de participer à l'une ou l'autre\, ou aux deux retraites. Il n'est pas nécessaire d'avoir pris une initiation au préalable pour participer à cette retraite de Tara Blanche. Elle est ouverte à tout le monde.\nPaula et Lhamo sont heureuses de guider ensemble ces retraites et d’apprendre ainsi l’une l’autre de leur propre expérience.\nPaula Chichester :\nConnue pour son style personnel basé sur l’expérience dans sa guidance des retraites\, Paula Chichester pratique la méditation\, les arts somatiques et la guérison psychologique depuis 1977. Inspirée alors par les grands yogis qu'elle a rencontrés à Dharamsala\, en Inde\, elle a dit à Lama Yéshé qu'elle voulait devenir un mahasiddha ! Lama lui a conseillé de se consacrer à plein temps au Dharma. Cette aspiration élevée prête aujourd'hui un peu à sourire\, toutefois elle a réussi à apprendre certaines choses au cours de toutes ces années de retraite et d'étude. Il y a sept ans\, à l'Institut Lama Tsong Khapa\, son Maître\, Kyabjé Thubten Zopa Rinpoché\, l'a encouragée à commencer à animer des retraites et à partager. Elle souhaite entrer de nouveau en retraite cette année pour une certaine durée.\nVén Lhamo :\nAnila Thubten Lhamo est une moniale qui a pris refuge avec Lama Yéshé en 1979 à Kopan et a été ordonnée par Lama Zopa Rinpoché en 2019. Elle a étudié le PEBA de 2003 à 2010 à l’Institut\, puis a fait de nombreuses retraites. Elle a contribué à la création d’Education Universelle France en mettant en place les ateliers sur les ’16 attitudes pour mieux vivre’.\nRetraite de Bodhicitta (VIA ZOOM)°\nAvec Paula Chichester et Vén Lhamo\, ouvert à tous\nvendredi 18 Avr. – 20H\nmercredi 23 Avr. 2025 – 12H\nSangha ordonnée et Ordained Sangha 40 €\, Membre Bienfaiteur et Benefactor Member 25 €\, Membre (adhérent ou soutien) et Member (basic or su 80 €\, Non Membre et Non Member 100 €\, Difficultés financières 20 €\nDétails et horaires\nPlanning :\n06h00 Méditation guidée\n09h00 Enseignement\n11h00 Méditation guidée du corps et de l’esprit (pas sur zoom)\n14h30 Groupe de discussion (pas sur zoom)\n16h30 Enseignement\n20h00 Méditation guidée\nParticipation en ligne\nRetraite de Tara Blanche (VIA ZOOM)°\nAvec Paula Chichester et Vén Lhamo\, ouvert à tous\nmercredi 23 Avr. – 16H30\ndimanche 27 Avr. 2025 – 12H\nSangha ordonnée et Ordained Sangha 40 €\, Membre Bienfaiteur et Benefactor Member 25 €\, Membre (adhérent ou soutien) et Member (basic or su 80 €\, Non Membre et Non Member 100 €\, Difficultés financières 20 €\nDétails et horaires\nPlanning :\n06h00 Méditation guidée\n09h00 Enseignement\n11h00 Méditation guidée du corps et de l’esprit (pas sur zoom)\n14h30 Groupe de discussion (pas sur zoom)\n16h30 Enseignement\n20h00 Méditation guidée\nParticipation en ligne

SUMMARY:Annual Course with Geshe Lhakdor: Awaken your Profound Nature by Understanding your Mind and Emotions
DESCRIPTION:Special 7-day residential course with Geshe Lhakdor! Appropriate for beginners and advanced students.\nGeshe Lhakdor is renowned for his inspiring\, down to earth and humorous teaching style\, making the ancient Buddhist philosophy and science of mind applicable to a 21st century audience. \nThe topic of this course will be the Cycle of Existence – negative emotions\, karma and the twelve links of dependent origination. \nAs Geshe la often mentions\, “the real troublemakers in our lives are the countless negative emotions in us. Not only do they hinder us in achieving the lasting happiness of liberation and enlightenment\, they also don’t allow us to have peace and happiness in this life. The reason to do dharma practice is to fight with these negative emotions.” \nThis course will explain cyclic existence or samsara – meaning our body and mind circling in the various realms under the influence of afflictions and karma – by using the Wheel of Life\, a visual illustration of the twelve links of dependent arising. These instances of samsara represent suffering and the cause of our suffering\, where these negative emotions come from\, and practice methods which will eventually lead us to liberation from cyclic existence.\nLearning about the process of entering samsara offers us a marvellous insight into how to reverse samsara. In this way\, the Wheel of Life becomes an incredible tool to awaken our profound nature and end the vicious cycle of suffering and attain the everlasting happiness of liberation and enlightenment.
