SUMMARY:Events for April 2025 – Jamyang London Buddhist Centre
DESCRIPTION:Events for April 2025 – Jamyang London Buddhist Centre« All Events\nMedicine Buddha Puja\nApril 10 @ 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm\nAbout Medicine Buddha Puja\nIn Person Only\nPujas 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.\nThe 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”.\nHow can I join?\nJust turn up!\nWe use cookies on our website to give you the most relevant experience by remembering your preferences and repeat visits.

SUMMARY:In-Depth Meditation Course for Experienced Practitioners: Year 2 Term 2 (February – April 2025) - Yeshin Norbu
DESCRIPTION:In-Depth Meditation Course for Experienced Practitioners: Year 2 Term 2 (February – April 2025)In a world that often dismisses its significance\, the mind remains mysteriously at the heart of what we call life. Founded by the brothers Vasubandhu and Asanga\, the Buddhist Yogācāra school focusses on the mind as ‘forerunner of all things’\, the creator of our experience\, and the storyteller that narrates our existence. Yogācāra’s analysis of how the mind constructs our reality\, can help us relieve the constraints of the ego\, habitual patterns and reactive emotions\, to experience greater ease\, possibility\, and freedom in every moment.\nIn the second year of the IDMT\, we will emphasize the lived experience of meditation\, both on and off the cushion. Guided by the Buddha’s third turning of the Wheel of Dharma\, we will begin by training in the successive stages of shamatha\, followed by a deeper journey into insight meditation. We will also explore how concepts can blind and alienate us by adding an imaginary layer to our interdependent world. Using spiritual developmental models such as the 37 Factors of Awakening and the 10 Perfections\, we will learn how to live more freely in daily life. We will also explore the role of narratives\, the philosophy of language\, and how to cultivate great compassion for all living beings to help heal our conflicted world.\nVenerable Losang Gendun has dedicated nearly four decades to practicing Buddhism and has served as a Bhikshu (Buddhist monk) in the Tibetan tradition for the past 18 years. Prior to his ordination\, he worked in diverse fields such as palliative care\, technology\, refugee organizations\, and commercial management. His extensive training includes ten years of studying Buddhist philosophy and practice in monasteries across France\, India\, Nepal\, and Myanmar. Additionally\, he spent over four years in retreat\, immersing himself in Tibetan sutra and tantra\, as well as the Burmese Theravada Forest Tradition. For the last 15 years\, Ven. Gendun has been a dedicated teacher\, sharing his knowledge of Buddhist philosophy\, psychology\, and meditation worldwide. He serves the aspirations of H.H. the Dalai Lama and Lama Zopa Rinpoche as part of the FPMT (Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition). Ven. Gendun is also a member of Mind & Life Europe\, a multidisciplinary laboratory that brings together researchers and contemplative practitioners to explore the nature of experience. Beyond his Buddhist affiliations\, Ven. Gendun serves as an interreligious canon at the Peace Cathedral in Tbilisi\, Georgia\, and feels at home at a Mevlavi Sufi dargah in Istanbul. In 2023\, he founded The Buddha Project\, which engages in long-term guidance for Buddhist meditators\, scientific research\, art projects\, and intercontemplative social engagement.\nThe Buddha Project\nThis meditation course is part of The Buddha Project led by Ven. Losang Gendun\, a branch of which is the Buddha Research Project\, an on-going collaboration between Buddhist contemplatives and scientific researchers from the universities of Nîmes and Lausanne\, and the Mind & Life organization (founded by neuroscientist Francesco Varela in collaboration with H.H. the Dalai Lama). It is aimed at investigating transformative processes in long-term meditators\, regarding such topics as mental health\, perception\, and self-transcendence. For the initial research it has been granted a European Varela Award.\nIntroduction of the IDMT training\nMeditation is essential for personal transformation and a crucial complement to Buddhist studies. This 4-year online course provides students with long term\, in-depth support in their meditative development. This weekly course will offer:\nAuthentic traditional instructions\, in contemporary language\, aimed at providing a comprehensive set of meditation tools for students to transform their knowledge of the Dharma into personal experience.\nTraditional and modern theories on supplementary topics such as models of healthy psychological and spiritual development\, ritual\, narrative\, ethics\, and social engagement.\nAn international community of meditators\, online and live.\nTo complement the IDMT course we will also offer:\nMeditation Retreats – week & weekend retreats on vipassana\, compassion\, and mahamudra\, offered both at the centers and online.\nYogi Bootcamp – an intensive\, guided\, 1-year meditation training with weekly personal interviews (call) for a small group of international students.\nPractice days guided by Ven. Gendun and experienced students of Ven. Gendun\nWeekly reflection sessions\, led by experienced students\nWeekends with the opportunity to receive Refuge / Lay Vows (Feb. 8-9)\, Aspiring Bodhisattva Vows (June 14-15) and Engaging Bodhisattva Vows (Nov. 8-9).\nFor more information about the content of the course\, download the course description (PDF) here.\nThis course is a collaboration between 5 FPMT Buddhist centers: Shantideva Center New York (US)\, Jamyang Buddhist Centre Leeds (UK)\, Institut Vajrayogini in Marzens (FR)\, Yeshin Norbu Stockholm (SW) and Maitreya Instituut (NL) and therefore the course will be attended by an international group of Buddhist practitioners.\nIf you’re enrolling later on in the course\, it is possible to request access to recordings of previous classes.\nPractical details\nThe In-Depth Meditation Training will run weekly on Saturdays and will consist of about 1-hour of guided meditation and 1\,5 hours of teachings.

SUMMARY:Sunday Morning Meditations for a more Peaceful Life Organized by Maitreya Institute - Foundation for Developing Compassion and Wisdom
DESCRIPTION: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\nAbout the Sessions\nJoin 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.

Your life then becomes peaceful and joyful and somewhat protected from the ups and downs of the external world. For beginner to advanced meditators.\nFacilitator\nVen. 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.\nIt 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.\nIn 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.\nMore info\nFor more information please visit the Maitreya Institute website
