Retraite de Bodhicitta et de Tara blanche (SUR PLACE)
2025-04-18 20:00 - 2025-04-23 12:00 UTC
Retraite de Bodhicitta et de Tara blanche (SUR PLACE)Offertes par Paula Chichester et Vén. Thubten Lhamo
Retraite en deux temps :
du vendredi 18 au mercredi 23 avril, retraite de Bodhicitta guidée par Paula puis par Vén. Lhamo
du mercredi 23 au soir au dimanche 27 avril, retraite de Tara blanche guidée par Paula
La 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.
Retraite de Bodhicitta :
Lama 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.
Au 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.
En 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.
Pour 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.
Retraite de Tara blanche :
Une 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.
La 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.
Paula et Lhamo sont heureuses de guider ensemble ces retraites et d’apprendre ainsi l’une l’autre de leur propre expérience.
Paula Chichester :
Connue 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.
Vén Lhamo :
Anila 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’.

Sunday Morning Meditations for a more Peaceful Life Organized by Maitreya Institute - Foundation for Developing Compassion and Wisdom
2025-04-20 08:00 - 09:00
Sunday Morning Meditations for a more Peaceful Life Organized by Maitreya Institute“Many people think excitement is happiness…. But when you are excited you are not peaceful. True happiness is based on peace.” ― Thich Nhat Hanh
About the Sessions
Join us on Sunday morning for an hour to pause, center, and restore to a happier and more peaceful mind to support you in being a bit more resilient in a world which does not always make sense anymore. These guided meditations are to help you calm your mind, explore your own nature and develop a more peaceful perception on life. When you are well with yourself, you will be more able to be well with others and the world.
These meditations are very practical, they are not within a religious context, so they are suitable for people of different beliefs, ages and abilities, for beginners as well as for those with more experience.
Registrations are not required.
What are the meditations based on?
They are based on a set of values and principles aimed at helping individuals cultivate a more peaceful and meaningful life. They are divided into four categories:
how we think (humility, patience, contentment and delight)
how we act (kindness, honesty, generosity and right speech)
how we relate to others (respect, forgiveness, gratitude and loyalty)
how we find meaning (aspiration, principles, service and courage).
These guidelines provide a framework for personal growth, encouraging individuals to think, act, relate, and find meaning in ways that foster a harmonious and fulfilling life.
How to Join
The sessions are offered online:
TIME: 10.00 – 11.00 am CE(S)T,
DATES: Sundays from 19th January – 4th May 2025
ONLINE: Join Zoom here – Passcode: [REDACTED]
The meditations are freely offered but if you would like to make to support Maitreya Institute, please make a donation using this link . The meditations will be recorded and made available to you to use them during the week. Please send us an email if you would like to join us to get access to the recordings.
Why meditate?
When you control your mind with wisdom you create the space you need to discover peace and joy. Your life then becomes peaceful and joyful and somewhat protected from the ups and downs of the external world. For beginner to advanced meditators.
Facilitator
Ven. Gönpo is an accredited FDCW facilitator and a Buddhist monk based in Australia. He discovered Buddhism as a child through martial arts movies and TV shows, this was the inspiration for the childhood dream of becoming a wandering kung fu monk. It was a few decades before part of that dream could be realized with many other life adventures distracting him from the spiritual path in his teens and twenties.
It wasn’t until he was in his thirties that Gönpo began to really understand the power of Buddhist teachings when he used them to navigate the emotional roller-coaster of life’s many experiences such as a marriage break down and raising children alone. Fortunately, due the kindness of his teachers and great good karma, after his children finished school, Gönpo was able to fulfil the long-held dream of becoming a monk, albeit without the kung fu. Ending a 20-year career as a high school teacher of languages, he become a wandering monk spending time studying and meditating in Europe, India and Nepal before returning to his hometown, Brisbane, to take up the role of Spiritual Care Practitioner at Karuna Hospice Services, giving care and support to people with life limiting illnesses and their families.
In his time as a school teacher, it was the feedback from students around mindfulness practices and life lessons that had the biggest impact on Gönpo, motivating him to become a 16 Guidelines for a Happy Life facilitator. In his sessions, Gönpo encourages discussion and deep engagement in the topics, challenging participants to examine their own ways of thinking. Through understanding how we are now, we are better equipped to develop the habits that will bring us closer to how we want to be, interacting with our own minds and the people around us in ways that will make us and the communities we live in, happier and healthier.

Annual Course with Geshe Lhakdor: Awaken your Profound Nature by Understanding your Mind and Emotions
2025-04-22 13:00 - 2025-04-28 13:00
Special 7-day residential course with Geshe Lhakdor! Appropriate for beginners and advanced students.
Geshe 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.
The topic of this course will be the Cycle of Existence – negative emotions, karma and the twelve links of dependent origination.
As 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.”
This 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.
Learning 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.

The 4 Noble Truths & Their 16 Characteristics - Yeshin Norbu
2025-04-22 16:00 - 18:00
The 4 Noble Truths & Their 16 CharacteristicsThe 4 Noble Truths & Their 16 Characteristics
This 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.
Course Details
About This Course
The 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:
Clarity 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.
Path to liberation: Learning this path helps you cultivate ethical conduct, mental discipline, and wisdom, fostering a life of greater peace and fulfillment.
Deepened 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..
Transformation 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.

Guru Puja
2025-04-23 19:30 - 21:30
Guru Puja is a profound and inspiring practice for developing faith and devotion to our spiritual masters and the Three Jewels. With the guru merit field as the object, one engages in an extensive practice of the seven-branched worship –paying homage, making offerings, confessing faults and so on-with the wish to attain the highest of aspirations.
This event is on-site only. Registration is not required.
We schedule prayer sessions throughout the year, offering a continuous opportunity for anyone, including visitors, to take part in practices that focus on bringing the precious benefit of accumulating heaps of merit and eliminating negativities. All our sessions are conducted in English, with some chanting in Tibetan.

Medicine Buddha Puja
April 24 @ 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm
About Medicine Buddha Puja
In Person Only
Pujas are rituals in which consecrated offerings – such as food, water, light and incense – are made to an enlightened being for the sake of creating conditions for progress on the spiritual path, as well as removing obstacles. These offerings are made alongside prayer and chanting.
The seven Medicine Buddhas, attainers of bliss, strongly prayed for the temporal and ultimate happiness of yourself and all sentient beings. They vowed that their prayers would be actualized during these degenerate times when the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha are in decline. As the buddhas’ holy speech is irrevocable, you can wholly trust in their power to quickly grant blessings to help all sentient beings in these degenerate times,” Lama Zopa Rinpoche instructs “If you pray to Guru Medicine Buddha, you will quickly accomplish all that you wish. Just hearing the holy name of Guru Medicine Buddha and the sound of his mantra closes the door to rebirth in the suffering lower realms. It is written in the scriptures that you should not have a two-pointed mind (doubt) with regard to these benefits”.
