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:Events for May 2025 – Jamyang London Buddhist Centre
DESCRIPTION:Events for May 2025 – Jamyang London Buddhist Centre« All Events\nDiscovering Buddhism\nMay 12 @ 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 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 CentreJoin us as we embark upon a 3-month exploration of this famous text. Guided by Geshe Tenzin Namdak\, we will delve into Arya Nagarjuna’s poetic instructions that convey the entire Mahayana path with unusual clarity and memorable imagery.\nAbout the Author\nArya Nagarjuna (2nd-3rd century) is widely regarded as the second Buddha and the trailblazer of the Madhyamika school of Buddhist philosophy. His coming was prophesied by Shakyamuni himself as the teacher who would appear when the karma of beings was ripe\, to expound and clarify the Buddha’s profound teaching on emptiness.\nAbout the Text\nLetter to a Friend is a poem composed by Nagarjuna as a letter of advice to his friend\, King Gautamiputra\, who presided over the powerful kingdom of Satvahana. The Letter is a concise and comprehensive introduction to the entire path and practice of Buddhism. Widely studied by both lay and monastic\, the instructions therein are of special interest to those who wish to take up spiritual activity while continuing to live and work in society; they are meant to convey the whole meaning of the Dharma to the ordinary person in a language and style that are easy to understand. Despite its short length (123 verses)\, it covers the whole Mahayana path with unusual clarity and memorable imagery; thus it is widely quoted by Tibet’s great masters and scholars in the many commentaries they have written on the Buddhist path.\nAbout the Teacher\nAfter completing his university studies in Hydrology\, Geshe 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. He is now Resident Teacher of Jamyang London Buddhist Centre.\nSchedule\nStarting on 6th May and running until the 22nd July\, 2025\nTuesday evenings | 18:30 – 20:00\nHow to join\nRegistration for the short course on Nagarjuna’s Letter to a Friend hasn’t opened yet but if you let us know your name and email address we’ll contact you when it does.

SUMMARY:Lojong Mind Training
DESCRIPTION:Lojong Mind TrainingHow its application can help us prepare for death and difficult times with confidence and compassion\n“Happiness should be brought under control\, and suffering ended. If you are lonely\, it will be the companion of sorrow. If you are sick\, it will nurse you.” – saying of the Kadam Lamas.  \nLojong or ‘mind training’ is an essential part of Buddhist training that teaches us how to transform problems into opportunities for deep spiritual growth. Ven. Amy will explore how lojong practices can help us lessen fear\, regret and confusion in times of adversity; so this program will not only help us prepare for the major transition of death\, but will also show us how we can develop a more peaceful and meaningful life.  \n“In our heart we do not think death will happen to us. Living in denial we spend our lives in distraction filling each available moment with constant busyness.”- Geshe Jampa Tegchok \nThis 4-session course will incorporate a variety of lojong texts such as the profound yet brief\, Turning Suffering and Happiness into Enlightenment\, by Jikme Tenpe Nyime\, the Third Drodupchen Rinpoche and The Eight Verses of Thought Transformation by Kadampa Geshe Langri Thangpa.  \nAdditionally\, lojong practice helps us: \nCultivate mental resilience\nDevelop compassion\nShift focus from external blame to self-reflection and accountability\nReduce anxiety\, increase inner peace\, and develop healthier behavior overall.\nVen. Amy will also be guiding a full weekend on Lojong\, which will be more focused on meditation\, at our retreat center in Loenen.  \nYour teacher\nVenerable Amy Miller is a beloved spiritual teacher\, practitioner and Buddhist nun in the Tibetan tradition.

SUMMARY:Events for May 2025 – Jamyang London Buddhist Centre
DESCRIPTION:Events for May 2025 – Jamyang London Buddhist CentreAbout this series\nWednesday evenings at Jamyang are dedicated to courses in advanced philosophy. Join our Resident Teacher\, Geshe Tenzin Namdak\, as he helps us investigate the finer points of the philosophy of emptiness and the Buddhist understanding of the nature of reality from various perspectives\, and through the works of the great Buddhist scholars of the past.\nAbout this course\nOver two years\, we’ll embark on a profound voyage through a text of incomparable stature within the Buddhist cannon: Entering the Middle Way\, by the revered master\, Chandrakirti. We are often reminded by Geshe Namdak that His Holiness the Dalai Lama reads Chandrakirti every day\, a clear testament to the indispensability of his work for all Buddhist practitioners training in the Nalanda tradition.\nIn Entering the Middle Way\, Chandrakirti interprets and upholds Nagarjuna’s philosophical position as put forward in his root text on wisdom\, while drawing upon the structure of the Ten Grounds Sutra to supplement this analysis of the nature of reality with an exposition of the bodhisattva grounds\, or the stages of realisation a practitioner must traverse on the way to enlightenment. Chandrakirti\, therefore\, ‘enters’ Nagarjuna’s text by way of the profound view\, as well as the vast activities of the bodhisattva. The comprehensive treatment of both method and wisdom\, as well as Chandrakirti’s formidable scholarship\, are just a couple of the reasons why Entering the Middle Way has endured as one of the most prized treasures of the Nalanda tradition.\nGeshe Namdak will open the door to this text and reveal its many riches to us over the span of two years. It goes without saying that this is a very special and rare opportunity\, which we are delighted to share with you. Please join us on what we anticipate will be an incredibly meaningful journey.\nAbout Geshe Tenzin Namdak\nAfter completing his university studies in Hydrology\, Geshe 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. He is now Resident Teacher of Jamyang London Buddhist Centre.\nSchedule\nWednesdays | 18:30 – 20:00\nHow to join\nSign up for the full course below\, or for an individual class.
