With great kindness Geshe Jampa Tharchin will give a commentary on the text Seven Point Mind Training by the famous Kadampa scholar, Geshe Chekawa. These Sunday classes will show us how to live a happy and successful life.

If our mind is pure and peaceful we will be happy, regardless of our external conditions. When it is unsettled, we will never find happiness, no matter how much we try to change our external conditions.

The method to make our mind pure and peaceful is to train in meditation. The Sunday meditation class covers methods to achieve this.

Geshela emphasizes the Five Powers to be cultivated
The Power of Intention
The Power of the White Seed
The Power of Familiarity
The Power of Repudiation
The Power of Prayer/Dedication

The Medicine Buddha practice and mantra are ancient Buddhist methods utilised to help physical healing, balance mental and emotional stresses, support the dying and purify negative karma.
It combines chanting Medicine Buddha mantra with visualising luminous, healing lapis-lazuli blue light.

In Tibet it is explained that the practice of Medicine Buddha fulfills all sentient beings’ wishes and brings inner prosperity, outer prosperity and wealth.

“Medicine Buddha is very important, to make everything easy, so you can work with less pressure, so you can meditate on the lamrim, and you have more time to have an easy-going life.” – Lama Zopa Rinpoche
