Events for May 2025 \u2013 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\u2019ll 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\u2019s 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, \u2018enters\u2019 Nagarjuna\u2019s 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\u2019s 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.

Established in 1978, Jamyang London Buddhist Centre provides a place for the study and practice of Tibetan Buddhism in the Mahayana tradition following the lineage of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. We are affiliated with the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT) under the spiritual direction of Lama Zopa Rinpoche.<\/p>\n

Jamyang is the Tibetan name for the Bodhisattva of Wisdom (Manjushri in Sanskrit), which can also be translated as “Gentle Voice.” Our centre welcomes everyone of any faith or none, offering a comprehensive program of meditation, relaxation, study, retreats, and yoga classes.<\/p>\n

Our beautiful centre is housed in The Old Courthouse in Kennington, featuring meditation rooms, a bookshop, library, and a peaceful garden. We host teachings by eminent Buddhist masters and offer both Buddhist and secular classes for all levels, from beginner onwards.<\/p>\n
