SUMMARY:When the Chocolate Runs Out
DESCRIPTION:“I could tell you about attachment for one whole year\, but you’ll never begin to really understand it until you start to look deeply inside.” Lama Yeshe\nGetting what we want\, like delicious chocolate\, a great job or a new partner\, is our main method for achieving happiness\, and we certainly work hard at it! But what if we lose it? Or what if we can’t find it? What then? \nBehind the world of attachment lies the origin of all our problems \, according to Buddha’s teachings. We therefore need to understand exactly what it is or as Lama Zopa Rinpoche puts it\, it will seem that we have to give up happiness when we heard that we have to give up attachment. \nVenerable Robina Courtin will teach from Lama Yeshe’s book When the Chocolate Runs out\, to explain tous what attachment is\, how it promise us happiness and only delivers suffering in the long run and the real happiness we can access when we give it up.

SUMMARY:Making Friends with Death
DESCRIPTION:“Death itself is not what causes fear. It is simply the consciousness leaving the body; one labels death on that event. There is no terrifying death from its own side; the terrifying death is made up by our mind. We have made death terrifying. What causes the worry and fear\, what makes death so difficult is attachment\, desire\, clinging: to this life\, to the body\, possessions\, family\, friends and so forth.” — Lama Zopa Rinpoche\, How to Face Death Without Fear \nImagine meeting death head on\, armed with knowledge and confidence. In this weekend course\, we will learn to engage the mind with teachings and practices that prepare us for this natural event\, so that we can accept it and face it without fear; and help our loved ones do the same. \nBuddhism explains that thinking about death is not morbid\, but useful\, logical\, and necessary because to die well\, peacefully and without fear\, we need to live well by leading lives based on ethics\, compassion\, kindness\, honesty\, and altruism. \nIn this course\, we will look at what death is; what happens when one is dying\, what one should do beforehand to prepare\, as well as during the death process itself\, and what happens after death.

SUMMARY:How to Develop Bodhichitta
DESCRIPTION:This course invites you to explore the rich meditation traditions of Tibetan Buddhism\, particularly focusing on practices that develop compassion and loving kindness. Unlike some meditation approaches that might feel abstract or difficult to grasp\, Tibetan Buddhism offers remarkably clear\, step-by-step instructions that have been refined over centuries.The heart of these practices centers around cultivating “bodhichitta” – an awakened heart-mind that genuinely wishes for the happiness and freedom from suffering of all beings.\nThese aren’t just philosophical concepts to contemplate intellectually. The course provides practical techniques that help transform your everyday mindset. You’ll learn specific meditation methods that gradually shift your natural self-concern toward a more expansive awareness of others’ well-being.\nWhat makes these practices special is that they tap into qualities we already possess. We all have moments of natural kindness and empathy – this approach simply helps nurture and develop those innate capacities until they become more stable and accessible in our daily lives.\nThese practices are considered the very heart of Buddha’s teaching because they point toward enlightenment itself – but not as a self-centered spiritual achievement. Rather\, enlightenment is pursued specifically for the benefit it brings to all beings. The path becomes about developing our fullest potential precisely so we can be of greatest service to others.

SUMMARY:Freedom Through Understanding: The Buddhist Path to Happiness and Liberation
DESCRIPTION:Buddha says that the main source of our suffering is the delusions in our mind\, such as attachment\, anger\, and the rest. They cause suffering because they’re distressing\, but they also have the function of misrepresenting the world to us — in other words\, we’re not in touch with reality.\nWe will look at the Buddhist approach to how things exist\, first conventionally — the view of karma\, how the mind exists\, how to develop compassion; and then ultimately — the view of dependent arising and emptiness. \nGetting in touch with reality is the method for achieving our own happiness and our ability to be of benefit to others.

SUMMARY:A Bird Needs Two Wings: Wisdom and Compassion
DESCRIPTION:It is said that just as a bird needs two wings\, we need both wisdom and compassion. The inner wing of our practice is wisdom\, and the outer wing is compassion. That’s the action wing\, the political wing\, the social-work wing. When you work on your own mind\, you are developing the meditative wing\, wisdom. The more you do so\, the more you will decrease your delusions\, increase your positive qualities\, and increase your own sense of happiness. Therefore\, you will increase your sense of connectedness\, and inevitably\, you’ve got no choice but to put yourself out there to benefit others. A bird needs two wings. It’s not enough just for us to have internal practice. It’s got to be externalized. It’s an inevitable product of our practice if we’re doing the job properly.\nIn this course we will come to understand the methods to develop both our inner wisdom and compassion in order to be of benefit to others and ourselves.

SUMMARY:Be Your Own Therapist
DESCRIPTION:These open-ended 60-minute discussions are an easy-going introduction to the Buddhist approach to the mind. Participants learn how to pay attention to\, identify and then unpack the thoughts that inform our emotions in day-to-day life and learn how to reconfigure them\, rather than focusing on the event or person that triggered them. This is the key to success in Buddhist practice. As Lama Zopa Rinpoche says\, “We can mold our mind into any shape we like.”
