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:Events for May 2025 – Jamyang London Buddhist Centre
DESCRIPTION:Events for May 2025 – Jamyang London Buddhist Centre« All Events\nMedicine Buddha Puja\nMay 1 @ 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: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: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. 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.\nThese 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.\nRegistrations are not required.\nWhat are the meditations based on?\nThey 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:\nhow we think (humility\, patience\, contentment and delight)\nhow we act (kindness\, honesty\, generosity and right speech)\nhow we relate to others (respect\, forgiveness\, gratitude and loyalty)\nhow we find meaning (aspiration\, principles\, service and courage).\nThese 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.\nHow to Join\nThe sessions are offered online:\nTIME: 10.00 – 11.00 am CE(S)T\,\nDATES: Sundays from 19th January – 4th May 2025\nONLINE: Join Zoom here – Passcode: 353076\nThe 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.\nWhy meditate?\nWhen 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.\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
